She has played with top orchestras including the Hallé, Orchestra of the Swan and the Cape Philharmonic, and has performed as a soloist with the Johannesburg Philharmonic and the University of Cape Town Symphony orchestras. Lindsey was a runner-up in the RNCM Ken Griffin Flute Prize and was selected to tour with the RNCM Symphony to Montepulciano. A versatile musician, Lindsey was the Director of Music at St James and Emmanuel Church before moving to London in 2013. Lindsey has directed and performed in her own production, 'Soundscapes of South Africa' at St Martin-in-the-Fields, Didsbury Arts Festival, International Youth Arts Festival and Camden Fringe Festival. Incorporating folk song, classical music, poetry and narration, this has been described as 'outstanding’ and ‘enthralling’.
