In Finland her teachers were Riitta Paakki, Kalle Katz and Tarmo Riutta. She has herself studied pedagogy and she has taught new pianists in the field. Berg has received funds from Kone Foundation and Arts Promotion Centre Finland for musical projects within teaching and for recording her own EP.

Years she has been manifesting herself as a cross-act artist with wide range of genres from neoclassical to jazz. Berg has played as a soloist, in trio constellation and with big bands.

Jenny has worked as a piano teacher for years - always supporting new acts in the field - she has also produced various projects for young musicians. “Producing events, teaching and sharing knowledge has always been important to me. I am a human and arts lover.”

Berg has worked as the producer for the Steinway Piano Festival in Finland - a concert event for young pianists. Berg has also worked as a marketing coordinator for the brand Steinway & Sons in Finland.

And still producing music and cross-act art events is close to her heart. Collaborations with artists from different fields and studies have led her to various projects. She is now based in Helsinki but works for international projects.

“As an artist - you are always in a constant learning process - listening and understanding”.
