Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Lucas, Clarence, 1866-1947 : Smithville, Ontario native Clarence Lucas moved to Montréal with his family in 1878 and studied piano, violin and organ there. In addition to conducting an amateur orchestra, he played the organ in a number of churches and was a violinist in the Montreal Philharmonic Society. Around 1885, he continued his training in Paris with Georges-Eugène Marty and Théodore Dubois. Returning to Canada in 1888, Lucas taught harmony and counterpoint at the Toronto College of Music, and in 1889 became musical director of Wesleyan Ladies College in Hamilton. During his extensive career, he also worked in London, New York and Paris as a correspondent and editor for the Musical Courier. In 1904, the artist composed and conducted his musical comedy Peggy Machree in London, and also staged it in the United States during a brief tour in 1907. His compositions include the opera The Money Spider, overtures to Othello, Macbeth and As You Like It, the cantata The Birth of Christ, and a Prelude and Fugue for piano.
