Jack is the owner/editor of the Composers of Choral Music Community on ChoralNet. He has helped create and administers the Composition Showcase (a little marketplace of new music), and authors the Composer of the Month blog series.

Jack Senzig is the Executive Director of Our Musical Life, a community music organization that has grown out of his efforts with the Gifford Children's Choir. This organization is preparing to launch in February 2012. Jack has carved a niche for himself in the choral world. His groups specialize in internet memes, video game songs and internet culture.

Jack is an avid supporter of the creation of new music and has found funding for many commissions. He also runs a repertoire sharing site called choirbragblog (For sharing choral repertoire through categorized YouTube videos).

Jack's choirs have received over 2.5 million views of their videos. The selection below is of his choir's cover of the meme Trololo. Jack and his international creative team took a Russian song without words and turned it into a Christmas classic. For more information see his blog for the choir here.

The Gifford Children's Choir was a wonderful group of children that did some truly amazing things. Their signature piece was a video performance of the Jonathan Coulton Song Still Alive from the video game Portal. The video achieved 99% popularity and many YouTube honors. The choir became known for their precoscious sense of humor. Here is their own video remake of their successful Still Alive Video.

For those who clicked on the video above, if you have never been Rick Rolled before, we are glad to have introduced you to the phenomenon. Premieres by the Gifford Children's Choir include three pieces by Harvey Sollberger of Strawberry Point, IA that they performed at the 2010 WCDA convention in Eau Claire, WI.

To kick off the concept of Senzig's new community music program, children from all over Racine descended on the local skating rink for a Flash Mob Thank-you for Veterans in November of 2011.

Although Jack's current focus is with children's choirs, he is an experienced high school, community choir and church choir director as well. He is dedicated to serving the choral art for singers of all ages.
