Emma began her singing career as a chorister at Lancaster Priory. She read Music and was awarded a choral scholarship at the University of Durham, touring internationally and performing at the Sage, Gateshead among other UK venues. After leaving Durham, Emma spent several years in Newark-on-Trent and was associated with the Church of St Mary Magdalene, where she was appointed Composer in Residence and sang with the choir. In 2018 she was commissioned to write a piece for a massed performance given by schools in Leicester, commemorating the centenary of the 1918 Armistice.

Emma’s choral music has been recorded with the Priory Label and printed by Encore Publications. She now lives in the Channel Islands, teaching at Victoria College and conducting the Jersey Camerata.
