The Story
Lucy Price believes in the connection and awareness that can be cultivated through the practice of music and yoga, and shares this with people as a performer and educator.
Drawn to creating experiences of human connection through performance, education and community engagement, Lucy is particularly interested in how engaging with the arts enhances wellbeing and has the power to unify individuals and communities.
Living in regional Victoria in Ballarat, she enjoys a colourful and varied career made up of chamber music, teaching and workshops, and enjoys collaborating with other creatives of different disciplines. She combines all her interests and passions together with her own projects ‘Music and Mindfulness’ and ‘Bach to Breath’, inviting people to pause and reflect in a unique and embodied listening experience.
Passionate about historically informed performance practice, Lucy has performed with chamber groups at the Melbourne Recital Centre such as The Muses’ Delight, Ensemble Ancien, Evergreen Ensemble and Wattleseed Ensemble. She has also performed in contemporary collaborations such as Rubiks Collective and the multi-disciplinary production of ‘The Nico Project’ as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival.
She has thoroughly enjoyed performing all over the world as a chamber and orchestral musician at festivals such as the Peninsula Early Music Festival, Castlemaine State Festival, Urbino Early Music Festival (Italy), America Cantata Festival (Colombia), British Isles Music Festival and Lake District Music Festival (England).
As an educator, Lucy runs The Yellow Cello teaching studio based in Ballarat. Previously she held the position of Lead Teaching Artist at the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s education program, The Pizzicato Effect, and delivered professional development to teachers in schools as part of the ‘Pizzimmersion’ program.
Lucy developed a regular yoga practice while studying at the Australian National Academy of Music, and became addicted to the improvements that it had on the body and mind. Keen to share these benefits with other people, in particular musicians, Lucy has completed over 400 hours of yoga teacher training at various institutions. Since then she has delivered online ‘Yoga for Musicians’ classes at the Australian National Academy of Music.
When Lucy is not on the stage or on the mat, she enjoys drawing, needle-felting and being in nature with her puppy Wallace.
