Lucy Illingworth captivated the nation at just 13 years old when she performed Debussy’s Arabesque on Channel 4‘s The Piano last year.

The Halifax teen moved viewers to tears as they watched in awe as the blind and autistic pianist recited the piece from memory.

The performance was so moving Lucy was crowned winner of the show February last year with classical pianist Lang Lang, one of the judges, calling her a ‘genius’.

The star pianist started playing piano at the tender age of three, and Daniel has been by her side ever since. 

Here we take a look at the musician’s marvellous bond with her piano teacher and music activist Daniel Bath as The Piano returned to our screens last Sunday.
