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 ensembles such as the San Francisco Symphony, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Tafelmusik, Naples Philharmonic, American Composers Orchestra, and Hong Kong Philharmonic. 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, and Hong Kong, which she reprises in Budapest and Tokyo in 2026.

An avid chamber musician, recent collaborators include the Doric, Marmen, and Brentano String Quartets; Merz Trio; 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.

Lucy is honored to be a 2024 recipient of a Fellowship Award from the Borletti-Buitoni Trust. Read more here.
