Biography
London-based pianist Jocelyn Freeman is rapidly emerging as one of Wales' foremost young instrumentalists. She is increasingly in demand as an accompanist and duo partner, having performed with Bryn Terfel, Michael Chance and Alfie Boe. Recent performances have taken her around the UK, France, Denmark and Cyprus, and she is a Samling Scholar.
Performance highlights include appearances at the Wigmore Hall, St John's, Smith Square and the Oxford Lieder Festival, and she has performed live on Sky, BBC and S4C television. Last year she won the Chelsea Schubert Festival Song Competition, the Joan Chissell/Rex Stephens Duo Prize for Schumann Lieder, the Ludmilla Andrews Russian Song Accompanist Prize, and the Blodwen Cosslett Leyshon Prize. As a soloist Jocelyn has performed concertos by Mozart, Liszt and Gershwin, and was awarded Gold at the Marlow International Concerto Competition 2008.
From 2004-2011 Jocelyn studied at the Royal Academy of Music and still holds the Marylebone Association Scholarship. Graduating with the DipRAM, Jocelyn was also awarded the piano accompaniment recital prizes. She is mentored by Michael Dussek and Pascal Nemirovski, and has also worked closely with Audrey Hyland, Christopher Elton, Martin Roscoe and Hilary Coates. Future plans include recitals around the UK, Switzerland and the Caribbean, and recording her debut CD with Kissan Records.
Jocelyn is very grateful for the support of the Richard Carne Trust, the EMI Sound Foundation, the Musicians' Benevolent Fund, the Seary Charitable Trust, the Ryan Davies Memorial Fund, the Arts Council of Wales, the Clemence Charitable Trust and the Elizabeth Evans Trust.
