Lucy has performed as a soloist in many of London's most prestigious venues including the Wigmore Hall, Cadogan Hall and St John's Smith Square. She is a core member of EXAUDI vocal ensemble, with whom she performs both Renaissance music and works by living composers. She is ideally suited to zwischenfach operatic roles, and enjoys performing Mozart opera in particular. She also loves performing with early music consorts, and has enjoyed performing with the Dunedin Consort, Freiburger Barockorchester, English Concert, Solomon’s Knot and the Academy of Ancient Music. Lucy is also a regular member of London Voices, singing for film soundtracks and in other projects, and working as Assistant Conductor to director Ben Parry when required.
Staged work includes Hänsel in Humperdinck Hänsel und Gretel, Zerlina Don Giovanni, Annio La Clemenza di Tito, Dorabella Così fan tutte, Meg Page Falstaff, and chorus in Purcell Fairy Queen and King Arthur with the Academy of Ancient Music at the Barbican. Contemporary opera appearances include the premiere of Laura Bowler GOLD with Riot Ensemble, Errolyn Wallen Dido's Ghost with the Dunedin Consort at the Barbican and Buxton Festival, Thomas Larcher The Hunting Gun in the Aldeburgh Festival, Pascal Dusapin Passion with Music Theatre Wales, Triptych with ERRATICA at the Print Room, Notting Hill, and David Lang's The Little Match Girl Passion with Cryptic Theatre at King's Place.
Lucy regularly collaborates with pianist Siwan Rhys. In 2017-2018 Lucy and Siwan undertook the American Songbook project, including new commissions A Damned Mob of Scribbling Women Laura Bowler (nominated for a British Composer Award) and Universal Food Machine by Canadian composer Christopher Mayo, a 9-day American Songbook residency at Snape Maltings, followed by performances in Brunel Tunnel Shaft, City and Durham Universities, International Anthony Burgess Foundation and in Brighton (supported by Arts Council England, PRS for Music Foundation, Snape Maltings, Hinrichsen Foundation and RVW Trust). In June 2022 Lucy and Siwan premiered Plain Air, a new hour long work by James Weeks based on texts by Nan Shepherd at the Musicon Festival in Durham in 2022. The duo performed An American Songbook II at Southampton University in January 2023. Plans are also afoot for a new commission by American composer Josh Levine, as well as repeat performances of American Songbook II and a commercial recording of Plain Air.
As a high mezzo, Lucy frequently performs the second soprano solos in Mozart Mass in C Minor, most recently at the St Endellion Festival. Other memorable concert performances include Monteverdi Vespers (solos&chorus) with the Academy of Ancient Music, a Chromatic Renaissance with EXAUDI at the Wigmore Hall, and a recital of music by female composers with soprano Héloïse Werner and harpist Anne Denholm for Spitalfields Music. In May 2018 Michael Finnissy wrote a reworking of the Recordare from the Mozart Requiem for Lucy to premiere with him at his retirement from Southampton University at the Turner Sims Concert Hall. In August 2019 Lucy sang in Berio Sinfonia with Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Susanna Mälkki.
Lucy enjoys a dual career as both a singer and conductor. She is lucky to work as Associate Conductor to Ben Parry at London Voices when required. She has recently conducted recording sessions at Abbey Road and Angel Studios for labels EMI, Marvel, Paramount, Disney and Decca. She conducted London Voices for recording sessions for Kitt Wakeley's Grammy award-winning recording 'An Adoption Story. One Story. Three Glorious Miracles', and for Sam Smith for their Grammy award-winning 'Unholy' and 'Gloria'. In August 2022 Lucy was course conductor for the National Youth Choir of Great Britain Girls' Choir course at Framlingham, alongside her teacher and mentor Joanna Tomlinson. Since January 2019 Lucy has been Music Director of the Orlando Chamber Choir, an excellent amateur chamber choir specializing in Renaissance and Baroque music. Lucy founded Concordium String Ensemble in 2017 in order to showcase well-known and lesser-known repertoire for strings, and strings and voice. The group's most recent concert in February 2023 included Dvorak Serenade for Strings in the Music By The Bridge series at All Saints Fulham, and they are looking forward to performing Finzi Clarinet Concerto with Jernej Albreht, Janáček Suite for Strings
and Stephen Dodgson Last of the Leaves with Jon Stainsby in a concert at St Stephen's Dulwich in October 2024. In January 2020 Lucy conducted recording sessions at Air Studios for the film The Green Knight. Lucy is looking forward to conducting the Royal Irish Academy of Music Phiharmonia in a performance of Cassandra Miller Swim and Schumann Symphony No. 2 at the Whyte Recital Hall in Dublin in December 24.
Lucy is a committed singing teacher of both children and adults. She has taught at the Lady Eleanor Holles School since 2009. Whilst studying for her Masters in Vocal Performance at the Royal Academy of Music Lucy also completed her Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music (the Academy's teaching diploma). She takes a keen interest in vocal pedagogy and stays up to date with the latest research.
Lucy graduated with distinction for her Masters in Vocal Performance at the Royal Academy of Music in July 2011, where she was awarded the S and M Eyres Wilson Scholarship and supported by the Josephine Baker Trust. She previously read Modern Languages at Girton College, Cambridge, where she was a choral and instrumental scholar. She also played the violin in the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and its Italian equivalent, L’Orchestra Giovanile Italiana, and spent a year studying at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole, Italy.
When not singing professionally, Lucy can be found singing nursery rhymes to her baby daughter Sophie. Lucy also loves playing violin in a string quartet, spending time in Italy, swimming outdoors, hiking, cycling and baking bread.
