SongEasel was founded by Jocelyn Freeman in 2018 with a mission to fill South East London with song. Operating across Lewisham, Blackheath and Southwark to date, the initiative has grown steadily, being awarded charitable status in February 2022.
The project was inspired by a passion to bring song to a wider audience, building the next generation of concertgoers through innovative musical performances and workshops of an international standard. SongEasel activities reach a wide and diverse demographic of the local population and those from further afield, including many who would not normally have access to live music.
With seven song recital series completed, as well as an acclaimed outreach programme, a thriving Young Artist Programme, and a burgeoning Fringe programme launched in 2022, what began as a vehicle to share the joy of song is now gaining international recognition for its impact on the musical and educational sectors.
“Really exceptional, unexpected gem of an evening ... Highly recommend.”
