Biography: Lucy Hayes Davis is pleased to once again call Halifax home. Upon leaving the city, she began an intense study of voice pedagogy with well-known voice pedagogues, Dr. Scott McCoy and Marvin Keenze at Westminster Choir College. After completing a Masters degree in both voice performance and voice pedagogy, Ms Hayes Davis went on to further operatic studies at the Hartt School. She joined the voice faculty there in 2001. In addition to maintaining a large voice studio, she taught all of the diction courses and a voice class for students majoring in Music Education.
Her operatic roles include Dorabella from Mozart’s "Cosi fan tutte," the Witch from Humperdinck’s "Hänsel und Gretal," Zita from Puccini’s "Gianni Schicchi," Marcellina from Mozart’s "Le nozze di Figaro," the Old Lady from Bernstein’s "Candide," and the Mother from Menotti’s "Amahl and the Night Visitors." She has also appeared frequently on both the concert and recital stages. Upcoming performances include participating as mezzo-soprano soloist in the Bach "Christmas Oratorio" with Coro Collegium.
