Lucy Rash

A classically trained violinist by trade, Lucy established a decade-long career in music education, with roles in artistic programming and operations at Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. In 2019, she received a Master of Teaching (primary/secondary) from Deakin University. It was in 2021 that Lucy moved to establish a practice under her own name as a Resident Artist at Gasworks Arts Park, the beautiful, natural surrounds of which have inspired her most loved works to-date.

Lucy’s practice now spans three distinct areas: composition/arrangement, live performance, and recording using strings, synthesisers, and vocals. Lucy’s arrangements and live performance work features in the output of artists including Ella Hooper (also of Killing Heidi), Jae Laffer (formerly of The Panics), The Smith Street Band, Jess Locke, Watty Thompson, Fenn Wilson, and others, and her works have been performed at venues including the Sydney Opera House, Hamer Hall, Melbourne Recital Centre, and other major venues around Australia. Her string arrangements have featured in ARIA-nominated, Australian Music Prize-nominated, and Music Victoria Award-winning records by Watty Thompson, Fenn Wilson, and Georgia State Line. In 2023, Lucy undertook a prestigious APRA AMCOS Women in Music Mentorship with the founder of Music Production for Women, Xylo Aria.

Lucy tours and records regularly with power-pop band, Raging Hormones (alongside Nick Manuell, also of Luca Brasi, Bodyjar) alongside a range of prolific Australian acts, and has produced freelance work for Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and Orchestra Victoria.

Lucy warmly welcomes visitors to her studio. Keep up-to-date with her work via Instagram at instagram.com/lucygrash (@lucygrash).
