Programmer : Fred Penner

Programmer Fred PennerAfter 30 years in the business of creating music and television and live concerts for the Family audience, I am at a very interesting point of my life.

The generation of young people who first connected with me in the 1980’s is now young adults moving into their professional career world and starting to have their own families. Inevitably wanting their children to have what they had as youngsters, there has been a resurgence of connection with me. Very cool!

I was born and raised in Winnipeg, which is still me home. I am married with 4 children, a son 28, and three daughters, 23, 21 and 18. The nest is almost empty.

I have been writing lots of music for special events; opening of libraries, special needs groups, in fact, whenever I am asked to perform one of my first thoughts is about writing a new tune.

I have been recognized in many ways over the years, with accolades and awards from honorary doctorates to the Order of Canada.
