Short bio:
Pianist Jocelyn Swigger is Professor of Music at Gettysburg College Sunderman Conservatory and on the piano faculty of Interlochen Arts Camp. “An hour of pure musical pleasure” was a Blogcritics revew of her album of the complete Chopin etudes, recorded with original ornaments on an 1841 Paris Erard piano that was tuned to a historically informed temperament devised especially for Chopin. She is currently obsessed with the music of late Romantic Czech composer Agnes Tyrrell; other passions include studying Alexander Technique and yoga and jamming with her pre-teen drummer son. She can be heard on Con Brio Recordings and Centaur Records, and her TEDx talk, How I Memorize Piano Music, is on YouTube. Jocelyn hosts two very occasional podcasts: Play It Again Swig (an audio practice diary) and Just Piano Improv. Jocelyn serves as Judge of Elections in her local precinct, and encourages you to vote in every local election. Website: jocelynswigger.com
