Grammy-Nominated Violinist Jenny Oaks Baker Launches Holiday Tour

This holiday season, Jenny Oaks Baker, a Grammy-nominated violinist, will take her inspiring production, Joy to the World: A Sacred Celebration, on tour across 13 cities in the United States. The concert aims to spread a message of hope, healing, and faith during this festive time. The tour is presented by Baker’s newly formed SoulFill Music Foundation, a nonprofit established earlier this year.

The foundation’s mission is to provide uplifting, faith-filled productions to all, especially families and underserved communities. Thanks to generous sponsorships, tickets are available at significantly reduced prices, making the performances more accessible. Baker expressed her gratitude, stating, “I really feel like Heavenly Father inspired the creation of this foundation. It allows me to partner with interfaith groups and bring like-minded individuals together to worship Jesus Christ.”

Tour Details and Featured Performers

Each concert will showcase a mix of world-class talent and local artistry. Highlights include performances by Baker and her musical ensemble, Family Four, as well as acclaimed mezzo-soprano Angela Brower from Germany, and narrator and baritone Preston Yates. The show will also feature Christmas carols arranged by Kurt Bestor, an Emmy Award-winning composer, along with a script authored by Jason F. Wright, a New York Times best-selling writer.

Local choirs, ballet dancers, and Irish dancers will contribute to each performance, enhancing the community feel of the show. Baker remarked, “It’s always a joy to perform music that impacts people. This show is impactful — it’s not just entertainment, but something that can actually change your soul, bring you closer to Christ, and fill you with the true Christmas spirit.”

Ongoing Initiatives and Future Plans

In addition to the holiday tour, the SoulFill Music Foundation hosts the Jenny Oaks Baker String Performance Workshop every summer. This workshop invites string players of all skill levels to refine their techniques and connect through music. The foundation is actively seeking donations to support these productions and initiatives, ensuring that affordable access to faith-centered performances continues.

Contributions will help fund future productions, promote musical diplomacy, and allow more individuals to experience the transformative power of these shows. Baker’s commitment to her community and the power of music to inspire change is central to the foundation’s vision, as she aims to uplift spirits during the holiday season and beyond.

The tour promises to be a remarkable celebration of faith and community, bringing together diverse talents and audiences in a heartfelt expression of the Christmas spirit.
