New Appointment – Jessica Coleman as Violin 1, No.3

We’re very excited to announce that Jessica Coleman has been appointed as LMP Violin 1, No.3.

Born in Aberdeen, Jessica was fortunate enough to grow up in a musical household. Her first orchestra tour was to China when she was 9 years old, and it would seem she never looked back! Now, Jessica enjoys performing and touring with groups such as London Philharmonic Orchestra, Academy of St Martin in the Fields, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and BBC Symphony Orchestra.

After attending Chetham’s School of Music, Jessica spent some time in Oslo studying with Stephan Barratt-Due, then went on to complete her undergraduate degree at the Royal College of Music with teachers Detlef Hahn and Gaby Lester. Whilst at RCM, Jessica formed a successful string quartet with friends. The quartet performed together for five years at venues such as Wigmore Hall, Kings Place, Conway Hall and the Elgar Room at the Royal Albert Hall.

Jessica feels her passions for both orchestral playing and chamber music come together in her work at LMP, and she is delighted to continue her journey with us.
