Darlington Arts Center is excited to welcome back award-winning pianist Jennifer Campbell as a teaching artist this fall.

The accomplished Glen Mills resident began her journey of creative exploration at Darlington at just 8 years old in a drama class and went on to study violin, art, and piano, a Darlington press release said. She is joining a team of over 50 teaching artists in music, art, dance and drama.

“It’s very meaningful to be back at Darlington now as a faculty member,” she said in the release.  “Engaging young minds so often brings new insight to my own practicing and performing. Each student presents a new challenge and responsibility.”

Campbell, who obtained bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music from Peabody Conservatory, has performed at many notable halls, including Lincoln Center in New York, the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, the Grand Opera House in Delaware, and the Musikhauset Aarhus in Denmark. She has appeared on U.S. and Danish television and radio, and was featured in a PBS documentary about the 5th Julia Crane International Piano Competition.

Also an avid composer, Campbell’s music has been performed by numerous prominent artists, including the Philadelphia Orchestra. She has won prizes in many competitions, including the 1000 Islands International Chopin Piano Competition, Baltimore Music Club Piano Competition, the 2nd Rosalyn Tureck International Bach Competition, MTNA competitions in both Delaware and Pennsylvania, the West Chester University Piano Competition, the Marian Garcia Piano Competition  and the Newark Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition.

Her recently released album, “Perceptions of Shadows,” includes Darlington teacher David Auldon Brown’s "Sonata No.1." Brown revised the composition especially for Campbell during her study at Darlington. “Perceptions of Shadows” is available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon.

Darlington, located at 977 Shavertown Rd. in Garnet Valley, is dedicated to providing artistic opportunities for all community members. Classes in music, art, dance, and drama are available for all ages and skill levels.
