About
Lucy Cox | soprano
​
British soprano Lucy Cox read Music at Oxford before winning a scholarship for postgraduate studies at the Schola Cantorum in Basel, Switzerland.
​
Lucy now enjoys a busy schedule as a concert soloist, performing regularly in performances directed by Sir John Rutter. These have included his Requiem with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at St Paul‘s Cathedral, Haydn’s Creation with Choir of the Earth, and Mozart‘s Exsultate Jubilate and Rutter‘s Mass for the Children with the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra in Bath Abbey. Lucy will be joining Rutter and the Oxford Phil again in April 2025 for a performance of Mozart‘s C minor Mass in Oxford‘s Sheldonian Theatre.
Lucy is a former Brighton Early Music Festival Young Artist, and was a finalist in the cancelled 2020 John Kerr Award for English Song. She has appeared as a soloist at the Wigmore Hall performing songs for unaccompanied soprano from Jonathan Dove’s song cycle Ariel and in Sebastiani‘s Matthew Passion with viol ensemble Fretwork, as well as at the Vienna Konzerthaus with baroque ensemble Fair Oriana.
She has sung title roles in Handel’s Acis and Galatea, Handel’s Semele, Cyril Rootham’s Andromeda, Scarlatti's La Giuditta, and Cavalli's La Calisto, for Brighton Early Music Festival, Cantata Dramatica, and New Chamber Opera.​​​
Lucy also enjoys performing with small choirs and vocal consorts including the Sixteen, the BBC Singers and London Voices. She has toured extensively with early music ensemble The Tallis Scholars, performing across the USA and Europe, and in Taiwan, Singapore and China. She is a member of the Choir of the Brompton Oratory, directed by Patrick Russill KSG.
"Lucinda Cox made a particular impression, with her clear, focused tone... she shone in her solo arias, duetting gracefully with the obbligato flute and two oboi da caccia"
