Jennifer M. Stevens, Soprano of Green Bay, WI is considered to be a multi-faceted artist in both the performing and visual arts.   Stevens is an aspiring classical vocalist, songwriter, and well versed in both traditional Oneida-Iroquois pottery (Hand built/coil method) and classical art (portraits and still life), and continues to explore with various genres and mediums.

Stevens soloist experience includes; the Green Bay Civic Symphony, Native American Music Awards, Club Italo-Americano, First Nations Composer Initiative Concert, Heard Museum in partnership with the Arizona Opera, and will be featured in the documentary, “The Lesson,” produced by Eileen Littig and Dean Thomas.

Composing classical music for piano and voice has been a secret hobby for Stevens.  She feels she has performed songs in many languages, especially Italian and Latin, and lately inspired to composing her own art songs.  Currently Stevens is writing compositions influenced by her classical foundation in combination with her indigenous language and culture.  Stevens wrote and performed her first song cycle entitled, Elements; Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water at the Heard Museum and will continue to develop her compositions and exploring new ideas. Stevens will always continue her classical music singing art songs, oratorio, sacred song, and opera arias. 

Furthermore, Stevens attended the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, WI, Kansas University, School of Music and Dance-Lawrence, KS and St. Norbert College-De Pere, WI.  Stevens participated in choral concerts and student recitals in Germany, Austria, and Italy.  She will be receiving her Bachelor of Arts degree from St. Norbert College in Studio Art. Stevens has recently started voice lessons with Inci Bashar in Chicago, IL, mentored by Margaret (Drummond) Colbert, and she is also an apprentice of Oneida-Iroquois potter, Rose Kerstetter.  Stevens enjoys learning and strives to learn all she can from her mentors and teachers.

In addition to Jennifer M. Stevens' art and music she is an active member of her Oneida and the Greater Green Bay communities, works with youth, she serves on the Green Bay Press-Gazette Community Conversation Advisory Panel, First Nations Composer Initiative Advisory Board, and employed by the Oneida Nation of WI for 20 years. 

"Being open and versatile is important in today's world...I believe in embracing all cultures in a good way and celebrating life through my music, art, and creative expression."
