Soprano Lucy Thrasher has performed throughout the Upper Midwest as soloist in opera, oratorio, recital and symphonic works. Favorite opera roles include Susanna (Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro), Musetta (Puccini's La Boheme), Gretel (Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel) and the title role in Lehar's The Merry Widow. To this point strictly a live performance artist, Lucy has been musically "crossing over" since the age of five. Her early performances in school and church led to gigs in country and western and folk music in her teenage years, then musicals, and most recently, cabaret. She is Assistant Professor of Voice and Opera Workshop at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, and since 1998 has also been the Director of the Resident Opera Artist Program at the Pine Mountain Music Festival in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a summer festival of opera, chamber music, cabaret, and symphony, where she recently performed with the PMMF Symphony as soloist for Sibelius' Luonnotar.

Lucy has sung leading roles with opera companies throughout the Midwest, has won District and Regional Metropolitan Opera auditions awards and was the Young Artist of 1983, North Dakota, for the National Federation of Music Clubs. She is an active recitalist and symphonic soloist, and her performances of opera excerpts for children have been seen by over 60,000 children in Colorado, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

In 2007, Lucy released her debut CD titled CABARET: Songs from Schoenberg to Sondheim, which is available online at Concordia Recordings, Fargostuff.com, and Amazon.
