British singer Lynsey Docherty enjoys a wide and varied career as an operatic soprano, a leading vocal animateur and as a concerts producer. She is the founding  Artistic Director of the festival, Celebrate Voice. Welcome to her website, where you can find information on Lynsey's vocal activities and make contact through the relevant page.

In 2020, she has been heavily engaged in producing and developing online content for Celebrate Voice, Iford Opera Festival, Dorset Opera Festival and South Wilts Mencap amongst others, during the COVID-19 lockdown.  She also produced one of the first live professional shows in the South West with an outdoor spectacular variety show at Little Durnford Manor in August, as lockdown eased.
