Lucas has performed with ensembles including the Los Angeles Master Chorale, Sound of Ages, and Collegium Vocale Gent. During the 2023–24 season, he was a VOCES8 US Scholar, collaborating with the ensemble in performances, recordings, and educational outreach. He was an art song fellow at Toronto Summer Music Festival in 2026, a vocal fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center, and performed for two seasons at the Spoleto Festival USA.

His additional festival experience includes SourceSong Festival and the University of Minnesota International Choral Institute. Lucas’s passion for German Lied was cultivated through two summers at the Franz Schubert Institute in Austria, where he worked with artists such as Elly Ameling, Roger Vignoles, and Julius Drake. This training prepared Lucas to perform cycles such as Schubert's Winterreise and Schumann's Kerner Lieder, and he has presented recitals at the Juilliard School, Opera America, McGill University, University of Toronto, and Heiligenkreuz Abbey.

Lucas is a multiple-time winner of the BYU Young Artists Competition and a recipient of an Encouragement Award in the 2024 Gerda Lissner Song/Lieder Competition. Outside of music, he enjoys touching grass at East Rock Park, reading poetry, and debating urban planning.
