Born in Switzerland and now living in North Carolina, Jens' music bridges American folk music and European classical music styles. He has composed for a full symphony orchestra as well as a number of string quartets and more.

    Great interview. Jens is an amazing musician. So fascinating to hear how he taught himself to compose and develop his own music.

    We have seen the Kruger Brothers live three times. Their music is awesome, but Jens’s interviews are always a joy to listen to also.
