Her engaging performance style and flare for creating innovative musical concepts have seen her open for Vanessa Mae and Elton John. A sought-after performer known as a pioneer in the electric string genre, she has played at a number of prestigious events throughout SA, Europe and the UAE.
Her debut album, Fireflies In The Rain, received a nomination for ‘Best Instrumental Album’ at the SAMA’s, and her new cello album, Sanctuary, is out now on all streaming platforms.

‘The school gave Emily a supportive and caring foundation for future education. This is my way of acknowledging the power of connection, community and kindness!’ she added.
