In 2014, Lucie founded the Orchestre de Chambre de Lille (OCL) with one ambition: to spread music for all, in places where people do not expect it. The OCL performs in the Lille area with concerts in different formats and with different aesthetics ranging from “instrument discovery” to the great symphony. Transmission and collective practices are at the heart of the orchestra’s educational projects, which, in parallel with the concerts, offers awareness-raising workshops. The orchestra and its conductor perform in unusual places with the desire to meet new audiences.
