Lindy spent some early years in Canberra playing in both the Canberra Youth Orchestra and Canberra Symphony Orchestra. After completing her music degree in cello performance and teaching at the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music, Lindy moved to Germany where she continued her cello studies as a post-graduate student at the Northwest German Music Academy in Detmold. Lindy spent 10 years in Germany studying, working fulltime as a cellist in the orchestra at the Detmold Opera House, and teaching cello and chamber music at the Detmold Music School.

On returning to Australia, she settled in Canberra, and now has a very busy teaching practice, with students at the ANU School of Music, Orana School and private students, as well as being a cello tutor for Canberra Youth Music. She plays with the Canberra Symphony Orchestra and for many other Canberra music groups. Lindy first performed with Stopera in the 1998 Festival production of Handel’s Ariodante at Stage 88, Commonwealth Gardens.
