A passionate advocate for early music, Jordan has performed extensively in Baroque repertoire.

She is a Charlotte Bach Fellowship recipient, studied at the Bach Meisterkurs in Leipzig, Germany, and continues to work with renowned contralto Sonia Prina, further refining her approach to historically informed performance.
