On the concert platform, highlights include Mozart’s Requiem at the Royal Albert Hall with the English Festival Orchestra, Bach’s Christmas Oratorio in Kristiansand, Norway, and Eurydice Orpheus in the Underworld at St John's, Smith Square. Emily has also made a number of appearances on BBC Radio 3's In tune.
