Emily is a composer, performer, coloratura soprano, songwriter and orchestrator from Cork. She released her debut solo piano album Airs & Graces making its debut on Culture Night 2020. It has gone on to become album of the week twice on Raidió na Gaeltachta, and it has been heard many times on Lyric FM, US Radio and on C103. It is a collection of 17 original pieces that combine her twin loves of traditional Irish music and Classical music. Many of these pieces bare witness to the strong influence that the melodic and harmonic styles of Ó Carolan, Ó Riada, Whelan and Ó Súilleabháin have had on Emily’s musical education. Most recently, she was trained vocally by world-renowned soprano Majella Cullagh.
