Lucie Biek

English-born violist and violinist Lucie began playing the violin at the age of five. After two years at Chethams School of Music in Manchester, where she took up the viola, she crossed the Channel to continue her studies with Nicolas Miribel, Claire Merlet and Anne-Aurore Anstett.

She performs regularly with a variety of ensembles and orchestras, most recently with Orchestre National de Bretagne, Orchestre Pasdeloup, Ensemble Matheus, Orchestre Colonne, Ensemble Sequentiae and Orchestre Lamoureux.

In 2022, she previews the piece 'Hymn to the Chasm' in collaboration with composer Noah Max and artist and sculptor Marie-Thérèse Ross in London. This artistic collaboration continued in 2024 with the sound design for the Material Matters exhibition and most recently for the Sluice Film Festival in Iceland, for which she wrote and arranged contemporary and improvised pieces inspired by the works of art. She has also performed at several festivals, notably at the Salle Adagio in Thionville with her Mikrokosmos quartet, specializing in traditional music. In 2024, she started her own ensemble Plurielle, a non-binary and female ensemble of musicians, seeking to celebrate and blend music, art and creation.

In 2025 she will take part in Sonic Explorations, a collaboration of contemporary European electro-acoustic music in Foggia, Italy. She looks forward to working with the Divertimento Ensemble in a collaborative project with the Ulysses Ensemble in Milan, and later at the ManiFeste Festival in June.
