Lucy Humphris is one of the UK’s most innovative and versatile young performers. Her fresh and original approach seeks to widen the instrument’s repertoire and push beyond both musical and technical boundaries. Her debut album, Obscurus, released on 31st March 2023, is an exploration of the obscured, in a programme which showcases some of the most incredible trumpet writing of the 20th and 21st century, as well as several reimaginings of older, more mainstream works for other instruments, arranged for trumpet and piano by Lucy, with pianist Harry Rylance. An ever-curious musician, the list of her performances and collaborations is a varied one. Most recent collaborations include performing on William Fox's 2021 album of Cecilia McDowall's organ works; with The Ligeti Quartet for their album of works by Anna Meredith (releasing 2023); working with composer Bethan Morgan-Williams for a piece for the Royal Academy of Music's 200 Pieces project; joining folk artists Lady Maisery and Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith for their annual winter show Awake Arise; and producing an album of chiptune sea shanties with The Longest Johns. Working with percussionist and filmmaker Tim Williams, she travelled out to the Orkneys to create a film for her album recording of Peter Maxwell Davies' Litany for a Ruined Chapel between Sheep and Shore, which will be released alongside the album.
