She runs regular variety nights for her former students and singer friends to perform with a live professional band in different venues around town. With a Masters in Jazz Performance (Canada) and a BA Hons in Creative Music Sound Technology and Performance (Cambridge, UK), White taught for two decades before changing course and working in the insolvency field. White has recorded three full-length studio albums (two of original material) and in 2020 will be recording her much-awaited next jazz album. She is a regular at all the main jazz venues in Winnipeg and has been a guest artist with the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra six times. Seasoned jazz singer and pianist Helen White enjoys performing in every location - whether it's a big show in a theatre with an 8-piece band, an intimate cafe setting, or a living room playing solo. She is also a founding member of #thisisartschool, a coalition of artists championing equity in arts education. She currently teaches at the University of Toronto and acts as a student mentor at Humber College. ![]() Her work has been presented at major festivals across North America including The Montreal Jazz Festival, The Washington DC Jazz Festival and The Smithsonian. She also performed on Lido's Grammy-nominated record Miss Colombia. Tara has been featured on CBC's The Signal, The Sunday Edition, and NPR Tiny Desk with Lido Pimienta. By writing about the realities or absurdities of white excellence, and the triumph of being an outsider, Tara will compel you to listen. After years of studying institutionalized art, Tara was compelled to break the veneer built around her experience of music-making. Even still, she decided to study classical trumpet and voice at the University of Victoria, but her love for making her own art led her to Toronto to pursue jazz and improvised music at the University of Toronto. Growing up in Chilliwack, BC, Tara studied classical piano and voice from an early age but over the years secretly fostered an interest in alternative, pop, jazz and improvised music genres. All this, encompassed by wild trumpet melodies, searing guitar lines, lush synths, and piercing lyricism will make you turn your head and listen.
