In her own words:

National Youth Boys’ Choir is such an inspiring group of young people and it is a great honour to have been given this new role. The choir presents a special opportunity for boys to develop their singing as their voices change, in a supportive and exciting environment. I am excited to see what we can achieve as we continue to raise the profile of the National Youth Boys’ Choir as ambassadors for male voice singing in the UK and further afield.

Lucy grew up in Berkshire and went on to study music at Queens’ College, Cambridge where she won the Beament Prize for outstanding musical performance. There, she conducted two university orchestras as Assistant Conductor for the University Music Society, and sang with Trinity College Choir.
