JUNO Award-winning guitarist Jocelyn Gould “has quickly become an international favorite with her hard swinging, imaginative approach and technical mastery” (Joe Lang, Jersey Jazz Magazine). Her joyful energy has captivated music fans around the world, and her passion for music is as infectious as her unique ability to connect with audiences. Jocelyn has absorbed the influences of the jazz guitar greats and has woven them into an exciting personal sound, citing Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Joe Pass, and Kenny Burrell as primary influences on the guitar.
Jocelyn’s debut album, Elegant Traveler, won the 2021 JUNO Award for Jazz Album of the Year: Solo. Her albums Sonic Bouquet and Portrait Of Right Now were nominated for the 2024 and 2025 JUNO Awards for Jazz Album of the Year: Solo.

She released a solo guitar-and-voice album in the fall of 2025, her 5th as a leader. In 2026, Jocelyn will continue touring internationally and release her 6th album.
Jocelyn has performed and recorded as a supporting musician with GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Freddy Cole, JUNO-winning trumpeter and vocalist Bria Skonberg, DownBeat Trombonist of the Year Michael Dease, Etienne Charles, Caity Gyorgy, Benny Bennack III, Jon Gordon, Rodney Whitaker, Will Bonness, Randy Napoleon, Diego Rivera, and many more.

On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. EST, the MacArthur Memorial will present a free virtual lecture in honor of Yom HaShoah with writer and researcher Sandra Lanman about her grandmother Elsie, one of 1,300 Jewish refugees who came to the Philippines to avoid persecution in Europe only to face new trials and terrors during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in World War II.
For years, Sandra Lanman knew her grandmother Elsie had escaped Germany to the Philippines only to lose her husband Gunther in the brutal Battle of Manila at the end of World War II. Aside from a few photos and family stories, she knew little else. In 2019, a serendipitous encounter on Facebook led her to Gunther’s great-nephew and a trove of photos of Elsie and Gunther in Manila. The discovery sparked her interest in the history of this little-known Jewish sanctuary from the Holocaust. Through film, photos and Elsie’s own words, Sandy’s presentation tells the story of the rescue of 1,300 European Jews and the challenges and terrors they faced under the Japanese occupation during World War II.
Sandra Lanman is an award-winning writer and public relations professional in New Jersey. She began her career as a staff writer for The Home News, a NJ daily, where she won awards for health, medical and human interest writing. She later worked as a public relations professional in the arts and public television, and as a director of media relations for Rutgers University, winning national recognition for several projects, including crisis communication following 9/11. She has been a consultant and writer serving clients in higher education, music and the nonprofit sector, and has volunteered with organizations focused on the environment and hunger. Sandra holds a bachelor’s degree in English and master’s in communication and information studies, both from Rutgers University.
This virtual presentation will include a Q&A session. This event is free and open to the public.
