‘Harmony and Heritage’ is a programme that explores the relationship between music, place, and memory, weaving together works that reflect themes of home, landscape, and belonging. Drawing inspiration from musical tradition, folk influences, and the cultural heritage of the British Isles, the programme moves between well-loved repertoire and contemporary works, highlighting the ways in which composers have responded to history, storytelling, and the natural world.

At just 21, Lucy made her BBC Proms solo debut in 2019, performing Haydn’s The Creation at the Royal Albert Hall with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra - an acclaimed performance that earned praise in The Guardian. Recent highlights include performing as a soloist for HRH The Duke of Edinburgh at Windsor Castle and appearing as the soprano soloist for Raymond Gubbay’s New Year’s Day Concert at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. She is currently working on her debut album, which will reflect her artistic identity across opera, song, and concert repertoire.
