Dr. Lindsey Vincent (b.1991) is a composer, educator, and percussionist based in Dublin, Ireland and Nashville, Tennessee.

Born and raised just outside of Nashville, Lindsey found her love for music when she joined high school band. During that time, she began arranging parts for the members of her percussion section when needed. She was also a member of the Songwriters Club

for four years (president for one) and was the recipient of the 2009 Songwriter of the Year Award. She received her first percussion instructing job on the spot based on a four-mallet marimba solo before she graduated in 2009.

In 2014, she graduated cum laude from Bethel University (BU) in McKenzie, Tennessee with a Bachelor of Science in music education (vocal, general, and instrumental). During her time at BU, she was a founder of the women's music fraternity Sigma Alpha Iota - Mu Omicron Chapter (however, she is a sister of Delta Pi from APSU), was an asset performer to the music education and performance sector of BU for accreditation certification, and performed with various instrumental and vocal ensembles across Tennessee. Dr. Vincent received private piano, voice, and theory and composition lessons in addition to her coursework. Throughout her undergrad, she continued to teach marching bands and compose pieces for a few ensembles and soloists.

In 2017, Lindsey received her Master of Philosophy in music composition with second class honours at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) in Dublin, Ireland. During this time, she worked alongside her mentor Dr. Evangelia Rigaki and the Kirkos Ensemble, as well as joined the Irish Composers’ Collective. Although she was studying abroad, she continued to stay active in writing for and teaching marching band (and drumline) in the United States.

After the completion of her masters, Lindsey obtained a PhD in music composition under the tutelage of Dr. Evangelia Rigaki at TCD. During that time, had the privilege of working with some incredibly talented musicians, including (but not limited to) ConTempo String Quartet, The Mornington Singers (conducted by Dr. Orla Flanagan), Bill Dowdall, Richard O’Donnell, Martin Johnson, Fintan Sutton, Elizabeth Hilliard, Michelle O’Rourke, Síobhra Quinlan, Cormac O'hAodáin, and Tonnta. During the final year of her PhD, she was one of three winners of the West Cork Chamber Music Festival Composition Competition 2021 with her piece for marching string quartet, Apex.

Lindsey remains active in the marching band community. In 2018, she had the premiere of her first field show of completely original music, The Tree That Gives, which was well received by the students, directors, and judges. Shortly after the 2018 marching season in the US, Lindsey became a percussion instructor at Beeches Performance Ensemble in Birmingham, England, where she still gives occasional lessons and is now the front ensemble composer. She has also been asked to give other several masterclasses on front ensemble — in particular mallet technique — across England and Tennessee.

Lindsey was the Director of Bands at Harpeth High School in Kingston Springs, Tennessee for two years. During this time, she also composed a choir piece for the St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Old Bridge, New Jersey, a duet for Laura Sinnerton (viola) and Dan Trodden (tuba) of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and a cello + tape piece that will be premiered by Ilse de Ziah at the National Concert Hall as a part of New Music Dublin 2022.

Currently, Lindsey is freelance composing and is accepting commissions.
