As a three-time Downbeat Critic’s Poll winner for Rising Star Big Band, Arranger, and Soprano Saxophonist, Christine Jensen is constantly in motion leading her own jazz orchestra and small ensemble.

Her jazz orchestra recordings have won two Juno Awards, for Treelines (2011) and Habitat (2014), the latter receiving a coveted 5 stars in Downbeat.

Jensen’s guest artist residencies have brought her to Miami, Michigan, Stockholm and Luxembourg. She has performed with Terrence Blanchard, Phil Dwyer, Gary Smuylan and many others and is the founder of the Canadian National Jazz Orchestra. As a saxophonist, Jensen continues to collaborate on small and large ensemble projects with her New York-based sister Ingrid Jensen.

Called "one of the most important Canadian composers of her generation," by the Globe and Mail, Jensen leads both large and small CapU ensembles in a dazzling program of originals and choice covers at this must-attend performance.
