Welsh Enterprise Awards (2025)

The award-winning Welsh collaborative pianist Jocelyn Freeman is lauded for her artistry, programming and powers of communication. Artist-in-Residence at the 2025 St Davids Cathedral Festival, she is an advocate for diversity in a range of artistic endeavours and has curated extensive concert and recording projects to wide critical acclaim. Her love of the Lied genre led her to establish SongEasel in 2018, a charity for Song in South East London. As its Founder-Director, she has pioneered new approaches to audience development and the wider welfare of the music ecosystem, which have gained international attention. She values her role as a mentor for early-career musicians, devising and delivering a series of collaborative and keynote talks and song masterclasses ‘Song & Society’, most recently in Salzburg by kind invitation of the Mozarteum University.
