Educated at Cambridge University, where she was a prize-winning academic and choral scholar, Lottie is also active as a multi-instrumentalist, Norwegian music specialist and Early Years music teacher. She lives in Bedford with her husband, tenor Harry Bagnall, and their three young children.
Lottie received critical acclaim for her performances as Hardanger Fiddle and vocal soloist on Erland Cooper’s triptych of Orkney-inspired albums: Solan Goose, Sule Skerry and Hether Blether.
“Cooper’s songs are deeply emotional and given lift… particularly [by] the wordless notes delivered by the soaring soprano of Lottie Greenhow” – The Guardian
With Cooper, Lottie toured a number of prestigious venues and festivals including The Barbican, Queen’s Hall Edinburgh and WOMAD and also performed live on several BBC Radio broadcasts.
