'... scrupulous attention to detail and a thoughtfulness which showed through in her lyrical and sultry interpretations.' (Hexham Courant review of "Song Offerings")

Lucy Mair was a music scholar at Rossall School, Lancashire and graduated in Music from Royal Holloway, University of London, in 2003. She then went on to study for a post-diploma in Chamber Music with Stella Silva at Benedetto Marcello Conservatoire, Venice.

Lucy studied with Poppy Holden and Agustìn Fernandez at Newcastle University and was awarded an MMus in Performance and Composition in 2010. She is now teaching and performing across the North of England.

In July 2011, Lucy was a bursary student at Dartington International Summer School, participating in masterclasses with Emma Kirkby, Jessie Cash and Nicholas Clapton.

Under the direction of Martin Neary, with Northumberland-based choir, Suspirans, she sang for John Tavener in the world premiere of his work, They Are All Gone Into The World Of Light.

Whilst in London, Lucy sang with the BBC Symphony Chorus, with whom she performed in the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall and in concerts at the Barbican Hall, London, under the direction of some of the world’s most renowned conductors. She has also been involved in radio performances on BBC Radio 3 and a CD recording for Chandos.

As well as singing as a soloist, Lucy is also one half of the Musgrave Duo with guitarist and composer, Jon O’Flaherty, performing new and early music and popular classics.
