Doctor of Musical Arts Recital

Pianist Jessica Xylina Osborne was born in 1979 in San Antonio, TX, and grew up in Reston, VA. Dubbed a “superb pianist” and “... a pianist with a refreshing mellowness and poetic touch” by the Washington Post, Ms. Osborne’s passionate, earnest playing has been featured on such illustrious stages as those at Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall and Zankel Hall, the Terrace Theater at the Kennedy Center, and the Seoul Arts Center, among others. Ms. Osborne has had the wonderful privilege to study with important mentors including Claude Frank, Emile Naoumoff, Jon Kimura Parker, Seymour Lipkin, Marjorie Lee, and her mother, Patricia Osborne. She holds degrees in piano performance from Indiana University, Rice University, and Yale University.

Ms. Osborne is an avid soloist, collaborator, chamber musician, and teacher. This season, she is embarking upon an exciting tour of recitals presenting works by women composers, both past and present.
