Lucie Horsch (1999) grew up in a musical family and took recorder lessons from when she was five years old. In 2009, she gained national fame with a TV performance during the AVRO Kinderprinsengrachtconcert. Two years later, she began her studies at the Amsterdam Conservatory with Walter van Hauwe. She also studied piano with Jan Wijn.

For this recording, Horsch was awarded the Edison Klassiek in the category Het debuut. Her second album, Baroque Journey, was released in 2019. It was recorded in collaboration with the French lute player Thomas Dunford (also her duo partner) and the Academy of Ancient Music. This album was given an Opus Klassik Award.
