Fatima Lahham is an improvising recorder player. She has performed all over the UK and Europe, both as a soloist and with collaborators. Fatima’s music-making takes inspiration from medieval to contemporary music, Fairuz, birdsong, politics, and the idea of home. Her aim is to tell stories about what is not being heard, that push at the boundaries of the imagination to create new worlds.
After studies at Oxford University and the Royal College of Music, where she studied with Ashley Solomon, Fatima completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge in the summer of 2022, on a full AHRC scholarship. She is currently a Teaching Fellow at Royal Holloway, University of London, and her debut solo album bulbul has just been released on FS Records.
