  • Redshift Radio Episode 16- Remembering Jocelyn Morlock with guests Mark Takeshi McGregor, Jennifer Butler, Jordan Nobles and Rachel Iwaasa.

    Jocelyn Morlock was a Canadian composer and music educator based in Vancouver, BC.

    Jocelyn taught music composition at the UBC School of Music for many years. She was a dedicated music educator and cared deeply for her students and the community. Her composition My Name is Amanda Todd, commissioned and premiered by the National Arts Centre Orchestra, won the 2018 Juno Award for Classical Composition of the Year. She was also the Composer-in-Residence for Music on Main (2012-2014) and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (2014-2019).

    She received her Bachelor of Music in piano performance at Brandon University, and both a Master’s degree and a Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of British Columbia. “With its shimmering sheets of harmonics” (Georgia Straight) and an approach that is “deftly idiomatic” (Vancouver Sun), Morlock’s music has received numerous national and international accolades, including Top 10 at the 2002 International Rostrum of Composers, the Mayor’s Arts Award for Music in Vancouver (2016) and the JUNO award for Classical Composition of the Year (My Name Is Amanda Todd, 2018).

    Jocelyn was also presented with a Barbara Pentland Award of Excellence for Outstanding Contribution to Canadian Music by the Canadian Music Centre in BC on December 4, 2018, after winning the Trifecta of a Jan V. Matejcek New Classical Music Award, a Western Canadian Music Award, and a JUNO award, all in one year.

    She is survived by her longtime partner and love, John Korsrud, family, and the many friends who loved her.
