Since her Royal Festival Hall debut as a concerto soloist at the age of 13, Jessica has continued to perform extensively in the UK and abroad. She has toured Singapore, Malaysia, and the USA, and performed in major UK venues such as the Barbican, St-Martins-in-the-Fields, and the South Bank (including a recital as part of the Park Lane Group's New Year Series 2002). As well as Making Music's AYCA award, Jessica recently won the First Prize at the International Mozart Competition in Greece, and was awarded the 'Most Distinguished Performance' prize at the Concours International de piano d'Orleans 2006. Other awards won include the Boise Foundation Award, the Hopkinson Gold Medal for two consecutive years, the Craxton Memorial Trust Award, the Wendy Hall Scholarship and the Alfred Brendel Award. As a concerto soloist, Jessica has collaborated with amongst others, the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra and the Redhill Sinfonia, and worked with conductors including Vernon Handley, Richard Dickins and Peter Bassano.
Originally from Taiwan, Jessica came to the UK to study at the Purcell School for Specialist musicians with the former Head of Keyboard, Mrs Roshan Magub. In 2004, Jessica graduated with Distinction from the MMus course at the Royal College of Music, where she is now pursuing a DMus degree on the interpretation of Frank Bridge's Phantasm, after being awarded the first Frank Bridge Doctorate Studentship. Besides working with her piano professor Yonty Solomon, Jessica was also chosen to participate in masterclasses with renowned pianists including Paul Badura-Skoda, Claude Frank, Leif Ove Andsnes, and Dominique Merlet.
In 2006, Jessica founded the Arlequin Piano Trio with violinist Dominika Rosiek and cellist Charlotte Forsey, and they have since performed in several major venues throughout the UK.
