It has been called “dramatically energetic and skillful” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Hailed by The Chicago Tribune as one of ten “The Best Classical Recordings of 2020”, Emily released the album Let Evening Come: American Songs Old and New on Albany Records, which collects the songs of never-before recorded American composers, stretching across time and a variety of styles. Emily’s career in opera has spanned debuts with such companies as the Santa Fe Opera, Palm Beach, and Nevada Opera, among others. Co-founder of the international trio Women on the Verge, she has worked extensively as a performer in opera and recitals. Emily is a sought-after masterclass clinician, artist-in-residence, producer, and stage director.
Emily was awarded a U.S. Fulbright Scholar Award for 2022-2023 to research at the Royal Conservatoire at The Hague in the New Audiences and Innovative Practices Master of Music. She was also invited to join the voice faculty of the Conservatoire in Spring 2023.
