Genevieve Lacey

Genevieve Lacey (born 1972) is an Australian recorder player and musical director. She has commissioned many pieces for the recorder to build the instrument's repertoire.

Genevieve Lacey was born in Papua New Guinea in 1972, taking up the recorder at age 5. Her family moved to Melbourne, Australia in 1980. At age 10 she moved to Ballarat, where she studied piano and oboe in addition to the recorder. She continued her studies at the University of Melbourne, the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland, and the Carl Nielsen Academy of Music in Denmark.

In 1999 she was given the opportunity to replace the ill violin soloist in a performance by the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. This led to a European tour with the ABO in 2001.
