Lucas Hickman is a recent Master of Music recipient in Vocal and Opera Performance at Indiana University, under the guidance of Dr. Brian P. Gill. Hailing from Carlisle, Massachusetts, he earned his Bachelor of Music from Ithaca College in 2020.

His performance credits include Aeneas in Dido and Aeneas at Ithaca College, Nemorino in L’elisir D’amore at the Monterrey Summer Opera Academy in Monterrey, Mexico, and Bardolfo in Verdi’s Falstaff with the International Summer Opera Festival of Morelia in Morelia, Mexico. Upcoming credits include Cavaradossi in Tosca with the Opera 51 Company. As well as opera stage work, he is also a multiple time finalist in the NATS competition and a finalist in the Ithaca College Concerto Competition. His recital work earned the Performance Certificate for Exceptional Recital Work from Indiana University.

As a teacher, his focus is on the care and habilitation of the voice and his students have been accepted to universities such as the Butler School of Music in Austin TX and Berklee College of Music in Boston MA. With a background in the study of Vocology, he believes focus of singing should be on the enjoyment of the music, and that no matter where a singer is on their journey, singing for the first time or preparing for international competition, everyone has a voice to share.
