Lucille Reilly, The Dulcimer Lady®, is a graduate of Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, and an award-winning performer on both hammered dulcimer and autoharp (1997 National Hammered Dulcimer Champion, 1994 National Autoharp Champion, and 1995 International Autoharp Champion).

Nationally, Lucille has performed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; The Academy of Music, Philadelphia; Longwood Gardens; the Philadelphia Folk Festival; St. John’s Cathedral, Denver (where she serves as Music Associate); Ozark Folk Center, Mountain View, Arkansas; Sore Fingers Summer School, Kingham, England; Old Faithful Inn, Yellowstone National Park; the Arizona Folklore Preserve; as Artist-in-Residence for the New Jersey State Council on the Arts; and as resource musician to numerous schools, churches, and choirs throughout the country. This is her fourth appearance at City Stages.

The author of two instruction books for hammered dulcimer and a monograph series for autoharp (including one in a Braille-conversion edition), Lucille has one CD to her credit and has composed several choral works, some of which include dulcimer or autoharp.

In her spare time, Lucille enjoys weaving, spinning, baking bread (including what is hailed by some as the best pizza in Denver), biking, hiking, and nurturing four cats who retreat to her lap during quiet moments.
