Emily is a professional horn player and Teaching Artist located in New York City. She can regularly be found as a freelancer with the Princeton Symphony, Albany Symphony, Reading Symphony and on Broadway shows! While performing is important to her, teaching is at the front of her identity as a musician. She is in her third year as a group teaching artist with the Paterson Music Project (PMP) in New Jersey. In addition to being a Teaching Artist, she is also PMP’s Manager of Programs and Community Engagement. PMP is a free afterschool El Sistema inspired music program for students in the Paterson Public Schools.

 

Emily teaches horn, trumpet, trombone and cello with PMP. Thanks to the Paterson Music Project, Emily applied for and was accepted to the Firebird Fellowship through the Academy for Impact through Music (AIM). She studied for two years as part of a teaching cohort which culminated in a two week residency in Lisbon, Portugal. Emily is currently a member of the Teaching Artist Training Program (TATI) and is scheduled to graduate in June of this year.

 

Outside of music, Emily loves yarn crafts, reading and roasting/brewing/drinking coffee. Some might say she is a coffee snob, and she would struggle to disagree. Emily is excited to be returning to BIA and is looking forward to a great week of music!
