TV talent show star to take to the stage for Nightingale House’s Christmas celebration concert

BAFTA-nominated Lucy Illingworth will appear at

William Aston Hall, Wrexham on

Sunday, November 24th for Nightingale House’s annual musical celebration along with a host of other talented performers.

Lucy stole the nation’s hearts when she featured on Channel 4’s The Piano at just 13 years old last year. She went on to win the competition.

Lucy is completely blind and has a chromosome 16 duplication, which is a rare condition affecting mental health with autism traits and affecting overall communication. However, Lucy has an extraordinary talent and it is by using this natural talent, Lucy is able to communicate.

Following her success on the Piano, Lucy was invited to perform at HRH King‘s Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle, where she played a note perfect performance of Bach Prelude in C in front of 18 million people, and earlier this month performed at the Paralympic Homecoming Ceremony.

As well as a performance by Lucy, the event, sponsored by DTCC – The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, will feature music from NEW Sinfonia directed by Robert Guy.

There will also be performances by the Rhos Male Voice Choir, soprano Kathy Macaulay, and the inspiring Dee Sign BSL Choir.

Elise Jackson, Nightingale House Hospice’s Events and Campaigns Manager, said: “This event promises to bring inclusivity and diversity to the stage, offering spellbinding performances and festive cheer to put you in the Christmas spirit. Every penny raised from this wonderful event will go towards caring from patients and their families at Nightingale House Hospice.”
