Luscinda Dickey

I am Luscinda L. Dickey—a performer, playwright, and composer. I love telling stories.

Luscinda L. Dickey is a performer, playwright, and composer from Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Luscinda’s main endeavor is The Suitcase, an original musical for which she wrote the libretto, music, and orchestrations. With the goal of producing The Suitcase and planting a seed of artistic possibility in Winston-Salem, Luscinda founded Love Joe Productions LLC on May 21, 2026, her 18th birthday.

Luscinda is a current first soprano in the Winston-Salem Symphony Chorus and has worked under the batons of Maestro Michelle Merrill, Dr. Christopher Gilliam, Mark A. Norman, and Maestro Christopher Dragon. In 2026, she was featured by the Symphony’s Backstage magazine as the youngest member to be accepted into the “venerated ensemble.” Quick to learn new and complex repertoire, she performed as a stand-in first soprano with the Winston-Salem Choral Artists—the city’s premier, fully professional choral ensemble—in the fall of 2026 with less than four weeks of study and only five rehearsals.

2024 – 25 credits with the Symphony Chorus include Verdi’s Requiem, Handel’s Messiah, James Syler’s Symphony No. 1 “Blue” and Dan Locklair’s tone poem Since Dawn (both under the composers’ supervision), Elaine Hagenberg’s Illuminare, and Dan Forrest’s Lux: The Dawn From On High in which Luscinda was the featured soprano soloist. 2026 credits with the Symphony Chorus include Eric Whitacre’s Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine, in which she performed as the first soprano soloist, and Jocelyn Hagen’s multi-medial The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci. Credits with the Choral Artists include Margaret Bonds’ Credo and Kodály’s Missa Brevis.

Luscinda’s favorite stage credits include Dora Bailey in Singin’ in the Rain, Jr., Alice in The Secret Garden, and The Wistful Witch of Winter/Bunny in The North Pole Centennial Holly Jolliday Christmas Yule-A-Palooza!. In 2020, she was honored to participate in the feature film Lock-In as the wild and wacky Leisel VanLoon. Luscinda loves improvisation, developing her craft, and meeting diverse and layered characters with curiosity.

In solo vocal performance, Luscinda studies and performs repertoire for soprano spanning from classical music to contemporary musical theatre. She performed a solo recital in the June of 2026. In piano, she is trained in the Lister-Sink Method of Injury Preventative Piano Technique. In dance, she has studied at Juxtaposition Fine Arts and is the creator of The Moon-dancer—a series of short films which explore music, visual art, and written word through movement. Luscinda has had the delight to share The Moon-dancer, live and on film, at studio recitals and community gatherings across the community.
