Jacki Whisenant studied with Julia Chybowski and Karen Atz at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, graduating with a BFA in Harp Performance and Studio Art, performing with local ensembles including the Middleton Symphony Orchestra, Madison Municipal Band, UW Orchestras, Edgewood Chamber Orchestra, and others. Sometimes you may see him busking at the Madison Farmer’s Market.
Pit orchestra is a particular favorite, and Jack has had the pleasure of working with the following companies:
Four Seasons Theatre (A Night of Rogers & Hammerstein, 1776, A Light in the Piazza, A Grand Night for Singing, Kiss Me Kate, Follies)
Verona Area Community Theater (Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan)
Music Theatre of Madison (Sound of Music)
Middleton Players Theater (Sweeney Todd, Ragtime, Sunday in the Park with George, Carousel)
Oregon Straw Hat Players (Gypsy)
Local high school productions (Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan, Ragtime, Sound of Music, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Guys and Dolls, Kiss me Kate, 42nd Street)
Music lessons with Jacki are structured to emphasize personal enthusiasm for music: beginning to intermediate levels of harp and piano, can tutor music theory.
