Genevieve Lacey
‘The incomparable Genevieve Lacey.’ (The Australian)
Genevieve Lacey is a musician who connects people and ideas through sound. She creates multi-artform works with found, devised and commissioned materials, combining her skills as performer, composer and curator.
Lacey works in many contexts and has performed in a diverse range of places and situations such as, the Lindau International Convention of Nobel Laureates, for Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey, on a basketball court on Thursday Island with Australian indigenous ensemble The Black Arm Band, as a concerto soloist in the Royal Albert Hall for BBC Proms, and at the opening night of the London Jazz Festival.
Her works include Breathing Space (permanent sound installation), Consort of the Moon (a choral ritual, built from the echoes of an ancient melody), Bower (an award-winning commissioning, performance and recording project), Soliloquy (participatory music-dance ritual), Recorder Queen (animated documentary film), one infinity (cross-cultural music-dance performance), Life in Music (radio series), en masse (music-film live installation), Namatjira (theatre work and documentary film) and Pleasure Garden – a sound installation that has been experienced by 50,000+ people in Australia, Europe and the UK.
All Lacey’s projects remain in repertoire for future presentations.
