Known for her musical creativity and electrifying stage presence, pianist Jade Simmons is committed to expanding the boundaries of Classical music. Though her affinity is for the rhythmic and percussive repertoire of 20th and 21st century composers, Jade offers a diverse mix of repertoire from the classics to the cutting edge. She recently became the first ever New Music, New Places Fellow for the esteemed Concert Artists Guild organization. Under this initiative, she will help to build new audiences and generate interest in concert music by bringing traditional and new works to non-traditional and alternative venues. 

Not only a pianist but a youth advocacy speaker as well, Jade has spoken across the country to great acclaim. She speaks on numerous topics of social concern as founder of the Where Do You Stand?! speaking series and has appeared on a variety of radio and television programs where she has spoken on topics ranging from the arts to provocative issues such as youth suicide prevention. As an advocate for the arts in education, she has created a presentation entitled Mozart on the Move for elementary school students and has conducted outreach programs for the Van Cliburn Foundation and the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival. Now going into its third season, Jade is the founder and director of the Impulse Artist Series which provides an audience for uniquely talented, up and coming pianists.
