A Mill Valley resident since 1997, Jenny Douglass has created a rewarding portfolio career as a violist, educator, event producer, and writer. She has been the Principal Violist of the Marin Symphony since 1999, and a member of the New Century Chamber Orchestra since 2008. Ms. Douglass is a frequent substitute with the San Francisco Symphony, performing with them in Davies Concert Hall, Carnegie Hall, and on several European tours. Jenny has also toured North and South America, Europe, and Asia with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and can be heard on several of their recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, including the 2001 Grammy Award winning CD, “Shadow Dances."

From 2015-2022, Jenny served as the Marin Symphony’s Director of Education and Community Engagement. She developed several initiatives that send Marin Symphony musicians into Marin County schools as well as community locations, including San Quentin Pr*son. In June 2019, Jenny created and produced a Marin Symphony Youth Orchestra tour, taking 90 teenagers to Europe for performances in Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. Her proudest achievement was bringing them all back.

Jenny’s love for chamber music has taken her to festivals all over the US. Her chamber music partners have included Yo Yo Ma, Joseph Silverstein, Bruno Giuranna, and members of the San Francisco and Boston Symphonies. Ms. Douglass earned degrees from Oberlin Conservatory and the Juilliard School, studying with  Lynne Ramsey, Karen Tuttle, and Eugene Lehner.
