Jocelyn Freeman

London-based pianist Jocelyn Freeman is rapidly emerging as one of Wales' foremost young instrumentalists. As a soloist she has recently performed Mozart's Concerto No. 20 with Cardiff Sinfonietta, and given recitals in St Martin-in-the-Fields, the Wales Millennium Centre and broadcast live on BBC television. Competition successes have included Gold at the Marlow International Concerto Competition, and the Blue Rhiband at Wales' National Eisteddfod. She is increasingly in demand as an accompanist and duo partner, having performed at the Wigmore Hall, and Bristol's Colston Hall, and recently winning the Joan Chissell/Rex Stephens Duo Prize for Schumann Lieder and the Ludmilla Andrews Russian Song Accompanist Prize. 

 

Since 2004 Jocelyn has studied at the Royal Academy of Music and still holds the Marylebone Association Scholarship. She is mentored by Pascal Nemirovski and Michael Dussek, and has also worked closely with Christopher Elton, Martin Roscoe and Hilary Coates. Future plans include performances around Britain, as both soloist and chamber musician, including St John's, Smith Square in November, the Wigmore Hall in January, and recording her solo 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 and the Elizabeth Evans Trust.
