Tessa Marchington’s gurus have taught her how to create something from the ground up in a sustainable and impactful way – an approach that guided her in setting up Music in Offices.
Jocelyn Marchington
My husband Jocelyn Marchington is part of the collective JocJonJosch. Throughout the 10 years we’ve been married he challenges me to think more deeply about the projects I work on, to question and to remain true to who I am and what it is I can contribute. He works in collaboration with two other artists, and I see the lengthy process they go through to get to a point of realising a project or an idea – sometimes after 6 months of discussion. The depth they go into on a subject sits in stark contrast with my more agile, faster paced approach, and so his process is always fascinating to me and something I can continue to aspire to.
Tessa Marchington is founder of Music in Offices and co-founder of Investec International Music Festival.
