Lucy, an incredible 16-year-old blind and neurodivergent pianist from Yorkshire, plays the stunning Bach 'Prelude in C' alongside her teacher Daniel, for a 6,000-strong audience at the Royal Albert Hall.

Lucy Illingworth is a British pianist who gained national fame after winning the first series of the Channel 4 talent show ‘The Piano’ in 2023. Now aged 16 and from Brighouse, West Yorkshire, she has been completely blind since she was nine months old due to cancer (bilateral retinoblastoma) and is also autistic and largely non-verbal.

Lucy was 13 years old at the time the record was set.
