Lily is deeply committed to bringing chamber music to audiences beyond the concert hall. Through participating in Ensemble Connect's Audience Engagement Institute, she learned to create musical programs that prioritize outreach and inclusivity. This training has helped Lily bring chamber music performances to wider audiences across the country; she has performed in schools, veteran's homes, correctional facilities, homeless shelters, homes for adults with disabilities and centers for addiction treatments. In addition, she has performed with Our Joyful Noise Baltimore, as well as on the Azure Concert Series, which creates performances specifically for children and adults with autism.
Lily frequently collaborates with horn player Ann Ellsworth, and is one half of sibyl, a duo with her sister, singer Chloe Holgate.
Lily has taught at the United Nations International School and currently maintains a full teaching studio at the Brooklyn Waldorf School.
Lily got her musical start at the Special Music School in New York City, and is a proud graduate of SUNY Purchase, where she studied with Laurie Smukler and Carmit Zori.
