Following its acclaimed premiere live performance by The Second Ending Ensemble at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Appel Room in 2024 in New York City, A Solar Symphony now receives its first commercial recording in a production of exceptional sonic quality. The nine-and-a-half-minute work showcases Jenkins's distinctive compositional voice—one that merges her Welsh heritage with the dynamic energy of her New York City base to create music of rare emotional immediacy and cinematic scope.
"The piece really is about what's important to me right now—the planet, energy, what happens to us when we die—big topics that I think about. I wanted to try and pull all of these inspirations into a single piece of music" - Katie Jenkins
