Description
Patricia Prattis Jennings (1941-). Born in Pittsburgh. Gave her debut solo piano performance with the Pittsburgh Symphony at the age of 14, in 1956. In 1964 she was contracted with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra to play piano, harpsichord, organ and celesta. She was the first African American woman to earn a contract with an American national symphony – with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra as principal keyboardist. Jennings retired from the Pittsburgh Symphony after 40 years in 2006. Jennings talks about her early years as a musician; her job as a church organist at age 13; studying violin and piano; student orchestras she was in; classical music and other genres; and Carnegie Tech.
