As Education and Community Outreach Manager at the National Concert Hall in Dublin, Lucy was responsible for a number of innovative music education projects, involving professional musicians working in primary and secondary schools across Ireland, all the major third level music institutions and with specific community groups. Two of these projects, (Mahler's Musicians and Music in the Docklands) were winners of Business2Arts Awards.

With the belief that access to music should be available to all, at whatever level, geographic location, or age, the projects Lucy managed engaged fully with the community to achieve this.

Specific groups, those with physical and mental disabilities, young people with Asperger's Syndrome and autism and older people with dementia and Alzheimer's were also part of the programme.
