Dr. Doreen J. Ketchens has changed the way many people, in and out of the academic field, see the clarinet. Her unique approach to the instrument comes from the fusion of classical training and a passion for jazz, soul and gospel. In addition to her inventive interpretation of the clarinet, she’s also an outstanding singer and a spectacular personality on stage.
You can see a little bit of all that in this fragment of a festival performance that took place last year:
Brilliant, isn’t it? Doreen’s genius has taken her to a great variety of stages on and off the screen, from Jimmy Kimmel Live to the MSU halftime show, where she played in front of 75,000 people.
