Jennifer Coombes began the viola when she was seven years old, and at thirteen started Junior Trinity with Professor Devorina Gamalova where she was lucky to receive a full Government Music and Dance Scholarship for her last two years. Whilst at Trinity she received numerous prizes including the Vivien Joseph String Quartet prize three years in a row.
 
She is currently a third year undergraduate at the Royal College of Music studying with Professor Andriy Viytovych. She performs recitals in Surrey and London, and has made concerto appearances with the Guildford YMCA Orchestra and The Orchestra of Situation Opera. She has participated in masterclasses with Lawrence Power, Jan Repko, Nicholas Pendlebury and the Wihan Quartet amongst others.

Jenny is a founder member of the Eilon Quartet which was formed at the RCM this academic year, and with whom she has several upcoming concerts and recitals. Her orchestral experiences include playing principal viola in the RCM's Opera Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra and Sinfonietta, the London Irish Symphony Orchestra, Surrey Mahler Orchestra and Surrey County Youth Orchestra, and this work has taken her to many European countries and to venues such as The Royal Albert Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Royal Festival Hall and the Rudolfinum Concert Hall, Prague.

For the last two years, Jenny has also performed as a soloist and chamber musician at the Academia Internacional de Musica in Solsona, Spain.
