The Financial Times â€‹

on 'Today' at The Last Night of the Proms

"But the winner among the new music was Lucy Walker’s two-minute Today, beautifully sung by the BBC Singers, briefly bringing silence to the hall."

The Last Night of the Proms
13 September 2025

The BBC Singers performed Today during the 2025 Last Night of the Proms, conducted by Elim Chan. 
“That was exquisite” said Katie Derham during the televised broadcast, with her co-host Golda Schultz admitting, “I’m trying not to cry.”
Today also caught the attention of BBC Radio 4 Today presenter Anna Foster who was struck by this piece – “It’s joyful, and it’s uplifting and it’s positive,” she said.

Another of Lucy's pieces was performed during the 2025 Proms. O nata lux was performed by the Choir of Pembroke College Cambridge, conducted by Anna Lapwood, at the 'From Dark Till Dawn Prom' on 8 August 2025 .

Album Release
18 July 2025

Lucy's debut album, Choral Works, was released on 18 July 2025. It is performed by St Martin's Voices and directed by Andrew Earis. â€‹â€‹

​

This compelling debut album was written during her residency with St Martin's Voices. The works trace a journey of artistic growth and spiritual depth, from the hopeful intimacy of Today to the shimmering expansiveness of I saw eternity

​

Walker’s music is deeply rooted in the choral tradition, yet distinctly contemporary — her harmonic language radiant and text-driven, her textures luminous and finely woven. Under the sensitive direction of Andrew Earis, St Martin’s Voices bring remarkable nuance and warmth to these performances, revealing the emotional resonance and craftsmanship in each piece.​

​

Whether drawing on plainsong, part-song or contrapuntal dance, Walker’s voice is unmistakably her own — lyrical, thoughtful, and full of light. This album is both a celebration of collaboration and a moving portrait of a composer whose music speaks with clarity, heart and vision.​​
