ABOUT LUCI

Luci is a mezzo soprano who sings everything from Caccini to Cole Porter. She’s a regular contributor to the Bedford Park Festival which this year, like many other events, went online for the first time.

In 2019 she had the opportunity to collaborate with Masters of Ballet Academy in putting on the one day outdoor festival “Masters of Ballet and Song” on a soundstage erected on Turnham Green in Chiswick, West London, sponsored by The Hogarth Club, Porsche West London, Beaumont Cornish Ltd, Horton and Garton, and Oxana Lifestyle Boutique.

During the song section of the programme, Elena Glurjidze choreographed a pas de deux to Gershwin’s “The Man I Love” and a wonderful mini-ballet to Cole Porter’s “Tale of the Oyster”.

Her last recital before lock-down was in October 2019 when she gave a recital at The Charterhouse in London.

Luci is passionate about sharing the process of being and becoming a singer, whether joining a choir or discovering the solo repertoire. What you see at a performance is never the “end product” it is simply part of the process of exploring.

Previously Luci performed as a singer/songwriter on the London acoustic circuit culminating with a performance at Glastonbury.

Luci studied Music at Dartington College of Arts  where she played flute and guitar, also running children’s music workshops at the Dartington Summer School under Peter Maxwell Davies.  She has sung in vocal groups including the Brighton Festival Chorus and Westminster Choral Society.

In 2015, wanting to explore the bel canto repertoire as a classically trained singer she began lessons with Susan Varley.  As well as investigating many different styles of the soprano repertoire she was fortuitously introduced to the American Songbook including Gershwin, Cole Porter et al.

Luci and her family have lived in Chiswick, London for about 20 years in and around Bedford Park.
