Emily mARTIN CREATIVE
Emily Martin, an American soprano and New England native, is a dynamic force in the performing arts. Over a 30-year career, she has excelled as an opera singer, stage director, voice teacher, educator, vocologist, yoga instructor, entrepreneur, and arts leader. Acclaimed for her "enchanting iridescence" (The Sarasota Herald-Tribune) and "dramatic energy and skill" (The Philadelphia Inquirer), Emily has performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages.
In 2020, she released Let Evening Come: American Songs Old and New on Albany Records, named one of the "Best Classical Recordings of 2020" by The Chicago Tribune. Her notable debuts include performances with The Santa Fe Opera (Peter Grimes) and Palm Beach Opera (Thaïs). She has also appeared as a soloist with premier organizations such as the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and given recitals, masterclasses, and residences across London, Iceland, Australia, and New Zealand.
As an educator and vocologist, Emily has served on the voice faculty of The Royal Conservatory at The Hague, taught residence in American Art Song in the Netherlands, and led masterclasses and residencies around the world. A University of Utah SVI-trained vocologist and registered yoga teacher, she specializes in helping singers rediscover flexibility and joy in their voices.
Emily’s creative vision extends beyond performance. She has directed and produced numerous opera projects and collaborated with contemporary composers to bring new works to life. In 2020, in response to the global shutdown, she co-founded em2CONNECT, a consulting business redefining arts education and support. This endeavor earned her a US Scholar Fulbright Award in The Netherlands (2022-2023), where she expanded her work supporting the next generation of artists.
Currently, Emily is the Ellen P. Williams Associate Professor of Music and Director of the Bucknell Voice Lab at Bucknell University. She is reshaping undergraduate music education by incorporating wellness, entrepreneurship, non-traditional repertoire, and community engagement into her innovative curriculum
