Lucie Horsch (born 1999) is a Dutch musician, recorder player, pianist and singer. She has won two Edison awards, an Opus Klassik and the Dutch Music Prize, and represented the Netherlands at Eurovision Young Musicians 2014 in Cologne.
Horsch was born into a musical family in Amsterdam. Both of her parents are cellists: her father, Gregor Horsch, is principal solo cellist of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, while her mother, Pascale Went, studied at the Sweelinck Conservatory and the Royal Northern College of Music. Her brother, Caspar Horsch, has played violin in the Concertgebouw Orchestra since the 2022–2023 season.
She chose the recorder at the age of five because of its sound. After taking recorder lessons at the Amsterdam music school, she appeared as a soloist at the Kinderprinsengrachtconcert at age nine. From 2011 she studied recorder with Walter van Hauwe at the Sweelinck Academy for Young Talent of the Conservatory of Amsterdam, and also studied piano with Marjès Benoist. She won the Princess Christina Competition for classical music in 2012 and De Avond van de Jonge Musicus in 2013, where she was the youngest participant. The latter award led to her appearance as the Netherlands’ representative at Eurovision Young Musicians 2014. She received the Concertgebouw Young Talent Award in 2016.
Horsch later studied piano with Jan Wijn at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, adding harpsichord and fortepiano studies with Olga Pashchenko. She has sung since early childhood and was a member of the National Children’s Choir for seven years, performing under conductors including Simon Rattle, Mariss Jansons and Jaap van Zweden. Since 2016, she has studied singing with Xenia Meijer; her voice type is mezzo-soprano.
Her debut album, Vivaldi, was released in 2016 and consists chiefly of flute concertos by Vivaldi; it received an Edison award in the debut category. Her 2019 album Baroque Journey, devoted to Baroque music from different regions of Europe, won an Opus Klassik. She received the Dutch Music Prize in 2020. In 2025, she won an Edison Award for The Frans Brüggen Project, recorded with the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century.
Released by Decca Records in 2024, The Frans Brüggen Project includes arrangements of music by Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Philipp Telemann and Nicolas Chédeville. Recorded at the Keizersgracht Church, it used recorders from the collection of Frans Brüggen, made available by his widow, art historian Machteld Brüggen-Israëls. Horsch performed with the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, violinist Rachel Podger and cellist Albert Brüggen. The album was conceived as a tribute to Frans Brüggen and to the development of his approach to the recorder, from its theoretical history to practical music-making.
