Biography
Jacqueline Pischorn was born in Austria and studied singing at the University of Music and Dramatic Art in Graz and at Trinity College of Music in London. At the Britten-Pears School she studied contemporary music with Oliver Knussen and Rosemary Hardy.
A great success was a first performance of a piece (Kyng Orfeo), written for her by Ian Schofield, at Turner Sims Hall in Southampton, accompanied by pianist David Owen Norris.
Oratorio performances include Mozart’s Vespers and Bach‘s St John Passion at St John's Smith Square, Mozart's Requiem at Cadogan Hall, and B Minor Mass in Southwark Cathedral, each with James Gaddarn. She sang Messiah with Oxford Sinfonia. Jacqueline sang many concerts with the Portsmouth Baroque Choir, the most recent one being Brahms’ Requiem.
In Newbury Jacqueline sang the part of Venus in Venus and Adonis and Anima in La Rappresentazione di Anima e di Corpo. She sang the soprano part in the first performance of Edward Lambert’s Rossetti Requiem.
As part of the Chichester Festival Jacqueline sang the part of the Angel in Handel's Jephtha with The Consort of Twelve under Paul Esswood.
Jacqueline gave Lieder recitals in Austria, Slovenia and the UK, working with pianists David Owen Norris, Peter Rhodes, Adrienne Black, Donald Books and Beata Formanegg.
In 2016 Michael McCartney and Jacqueline formed a guitar and voice duo performing works by rarely performed composers from the early 19th Century.
