Mark Jennings is Director of Choral Activities at Truman State University, a position he has held for
the past eight years. At Truman, he conducts Cantoria and the University Chorus, a large mixed
choir. He also teaches courses in choral music, applied voice, and he leads the master’s program
in choral conducting.
During his tenure at Truman, Jennings has led Cantoria in an invited performance at the 2007
MMEA conference, yearly domestic tours of the region, and international tours to Italy, Greece,
Ireland, England, and, recently, to Finland, Estonia, and Latvia (2011). He has led performances
of J.S. Bach’s St. John Passion, Requiems of Fauré, Mozart, and Schnittke, Vaughan Williams’s
Dona Nobis Pacem, and Orff’s Carmina Burana. He has premiered a number of works by American
composers, most recently Cary Boyce’s “Flowers” and the commissioned “There Will Be Rest.”
Jennings is an active and dedicated educator and scholar. He serves as a frequent clinician and
adjudicator across Missouri, and he enjoys composing as well as studying Baroque and Renaissance
music. This past summer, Jennings was awarded a Summer Research Grant to develop new editions
of Renaissance music that incorporate a part-score format along with the traditional choral score.
