Emma McPhilemy
Emma McPhilemy (UK) is a touring saxophonist with a highly unique and versatile style to her playing. Taking inspiration from almost every musical angle, she regularly performs in a hugely diverse range of genres.
As a classically trained musician, Emma takes great pleasure in using her refined instrumental skill to experiment and collaborate with other performers. From classical, contemporary and improvisational to folk, pop, R&B and dance, she thrives most when creating and pushing the limits and boundaries of cross-genre performance.
Recent career highlights include making her debut concerto performance with The BBC Philharmonic, touring internationally as Musical Director and saxophone soloist in Bill Whelan’s production of ‘Riverdance’, travelling to Australia as guest artist at ‘The Melbourne Saxophone Festival’ and launching her own online, saxophone series (#lockthesaxdown) which has since turned into a fully funded album project, to be released over the coming months.
