Emma is at-home in a multitude of collaborative settings – from traditional art song, to interdisciplinary projects, to contemporary opera – and has collaborated with numerous cultural institutions both in New York City and abroad, including The Boston Art Song Society, The Berlin Umculo Opera Incubator, City Lyric Opera, Opera on Tap, and more. Emma currently serves as Associate Music Director at The American Opera Project while maintaining an active freelancing schedule, and her teaching studio.

Emma has been privilege worked with some of the world’s greatest musicians in the field: from Elly Ameling and Helmet Deutsch, to Kobie van Rensburg and Yo-Yo Ma. In 2017 she served as Community Engagement Coordinator of The Boston Art Song Society, and has participated in the prestigious Franz-Schubert Institut in Vienna. Her collaborative piano work extends into other artistic fields, such as dance, where she’s worked with the New York City Ballet, and dance-first workshops with Grammy award-winning conductor/soprano, Barbara Hannigan.  

Emma's commitment to community engagement through music has led her to work alongside the international music organization El Sistema in Japan, and in 2016 she was certified by Musicians Without Borders through the School for International Training’s Graduate Institute’s Peacebuilding Program.
