British lyric soprano Lucy Farrimond has captivated audiences at prestigious venues across the UK and internationally, including the Royal Albert Hall, The Bridgewater Hall, Snape Maltings, The Stoller Hall, St. John’s Smith Square, and the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Paris. Featured on major television and radio networks such as BBC, ITV, BBC Radio 4, and BBC Radio 3, she has been recognised as a "rising star soprano”. At just 21, Lucy made her BBC Proms solo debut in 2019, performing Haydn's The Creation at the Royal Albert Hall with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra - an acclaimed performance that earned praise in The Guardian. Originally from the North West of England, she is a graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music, where she studied under the esteemed soprano Jane Irwin.

Introducing our Summer Festival 2025: Voices of the North. From Friday 27th June to Friday 4th July, we'll be welcoming singers from the North of the UK across a variety of vocal music genres, including opera, art song, folk, jazz, soul, and musical theatre.
For the 3rd and 4th of July, our Concert Hall will be transformed into an intimate performance space for a new concert experience. Seating will be on round, cabaret style tables, with ambient lighting, nibbles, and a place to hold your drinks while you enjoy the musical offerings on stage.
This summer we're trialing going digital for our programmes. As part of the School of Music, and the wider University's commitment to sustainability, we'll be hosting our programmes online only to reduce the amount of printing produced by the Concert Series. Full programme details will be available online and links to find this information will be available via email and on screens around the building.
All events will be ticketed, with tickets available to be booked online, with limited numbers of tickets available on the door on the day. Booking opens on Friday 30th May. Friday lunchtime concerts are free or pay as you feel. Other events are priced individually. All events are free for students.
Excited to see the full lineup? We'll be releasing full programme details via our newsletter and social media throughout May and June. Our festival is the perfect blend of tradition and innovation, with concerts in a variety of genres and formats to cater to all audiences.
