Noted for her “dazzling, virtuoso singing” (Boston Globe), soprano Lucy Fitz Gibbon delights in the range of sonic possibility inherent in the human voice. With a repertoire that ranges centuries, she specializes in the dusty corners of the canon – giving modern premieres of rediscovered works from the Baroque through the mid-20^th century – and is sought-out for her collaborations with today’s composers.

Ms. Fitz Gibbon has appeared as soloist with orchestras such as the San Francisco Symphony, Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, American Composer’s Orchestra, Tafelmusik, Hong Kong Philharmonic, and Concerto Budapest. Recent operatic engagements include Alexander Tcherepnin’s La Fée et le cultivateur (Fée) with New Asia Chamber Music Society in Alice Tully Hall; Hao Weiya’s AI Variations (Scientist) in Carnegie’s Zankel Hall; the Seattle Opera premiere of Sheila Silver’s A Thousand Splendid Suns (Laila, cover); and Tan Dun’s Tea: Mirror of Soul (Princess Lan) in Shanghai, Fuzhou, Hong Kong, Budapest, and Tokyo.

An avid chamber musician, recent collaborators include the Doric, Marmen, and Brentano String Quartets; double-bassist Will Langlie-Miletich; and violinist Alexi Kenney. Joshua Barone described her 2024 Ojai Festival performance of György Kurtág’s monumental Kafka Fragments with Kenney as “by turns silly, shocking and mysteriously profound” (New York Times). With her husband and longstanding collaborative partner, pianist Ryan McCullough, Lucy performs repertoire ranging from 18^th century melodrama to 21^st century art song on a variety of keyboard instruments. Praised as “breathtaking” (Wall Street Journal), their duo recordings can be found on the Albany Records and False Azure labels.

Lucy serves on the faculty of Bard College Conservatory and has been in residence at the Marlboro Music Festival annually since 2016. She is honored to be the recipient of a 2024 Fellowship from the Borletti-Buitoni Trust, whose generous support enables upcoming commissioning, recording, and performance projects.
