Clarice Jensen is a renowned cellist, composer, and producer who has made a significant impact on the classical music scene. Born in 1981 in Vancouver, Canada, Jensen grew up in a family of musicians and was exposed to classical music from a young age. Her mother was a pianist, and her father was a composer, so it was only natural that Jensen would follow in their footsteps. Jensen began playing the cello at the age of three and quickly showed a natural talent for the instrument. She studied at the Vancouver Academy of Music and later at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. During her time in New York, Jensen became involved in the city's vibrant experimental music scene, which would later influence her own compositions. In 2004, Jensen joined the American Contemporary Music Ensemble (ACME), a group dedicated to performing contemporary classical music. She quickly became an integral member of the ensemble, and her cello playing was praised for its emotional depth and technical skill. Jensen also began composing her own music during this time, drawing on her classical training and her experiences in the experimental music scene. Jensen's career as a composer and producer took off in the early 2010s when she founded the record label and production company, Mivos Quartet. The company was dedicated to promoting contemporary classical music and providing a platform for emerging composers. Jensen produced and released several albums through Mivos Quartet, including her own compositions. In 2018, Jensen released her debut solo album, "For This From That Will Be Filled," which was met with critical acclaim. The album featured Jensen's cello playing and her own compositions, which blended classical and experimental music. The album was praised for its emotional depth and its ability to transport listeners to otherworldly realms. Jensen has also collaborated with several other musicians and artists throughout her career. She has worked with composers such as Max Richter and Jóhann Jóhannsson, and has performed with artists such as Björk and Nick Cave. Jensen's collaborations have allowed her to explore new musical territories and push the boundaries of classical music. In addition to her work as a musician and composer, Jensen is also a sought-after producer and sound engineer. She has worked on several film scores, including the Oscar-nominated score for "The Theory of Everything." Jensen's expertise in sound engineering has allowed her to create immersive and otherworldly soundscapes in her own compositions. Jensen's contributions to the classical music scene have not gone unnoticed. She has received several awards and honors throughout her career, including the ASCAP Foundation Morton Gould Young Composer Award and the Aaron Copland Fund for Music Recording Grant. Jensen was also named a 2019 United States Artists Fellow in Music, which is one of the most prestigious awards for artists in the United States. Jensen's impact on the classical music scene can be felt through her innovative compositions, her collaborations with other artists, and her dedication to promoting contemporary classical music.
