The Orchestra Manager

LUCY HAYWARD

ORCHESTRA MANAGER, CO-FOUNDER and CEO

As the orchestra manager of Luminosa Music, Lucy Hayward, who is a classically trained musician in piano and violin and also studying an MA in Arts Policy and Practice, manages production, company operations and fundraising. She believes that the creation of a professional orchestra in Galway is culturally significant, timely and a much needed group for what is Ireland's unofficial Capital of Culture. Diversity of experience, culture, ethnicity and music training are the ingredients for an exciting, progressive and entrepreneurial organisation that shines a light on world-class talent and performance.
