We welcome back Lucy Hollins – our Principal Guest conductor and the presenter for our family concert, Lucy’s Race to Space! Lucy wants everyone to experience the magic of live music! She is passionate about creating opportunities for people from all walks of life to make music together, regardless of age, background or level of experience. She started out singing in the back of the car on long journeys, either with or in order to irritate her sisters. She is now a conductor, presenter, composer, writer and animateur, making music with thousands of people across the country each year.
“I can’t wait to welcome our fantastic audiences to West Road Concert Hall for Lucy’s Race to Space this weekend! We have so much exciting music to share as we go on our epic adventure through the galaxy, as well as opportunities to sing along and join in. Don’t forget your spacesuit!”
Lucy is Creative Director of the National Youth Choir, a vocal leader for Music of Life, Principal Guest Conductor of the Cambridge Philharmonic, a conducting tutor for the Association of British Choral Directors, and Conductor of the CBSO’s Community Choir, SO Vocal. As a presenter, Lucy loves curating performances and writing songs which will engage and excite young audiences. She has designed concerts for the London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Royal College of Music and City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. She is always excited to engage new audiences and share the joy of making music together.
