What Does Emma Do?
Photography/Videography
Emma is not only an musical artist but a visual one as well. Her multimedia creativity has bled over into a love for professionally capturing the arts through her camera and sharing her documentation with the world.
Her journey into this art form started under the mentorship of Dave Alcorn, the founder of Microtone Media, during her collaboration as a marketing intern with LunART, a Madison-based organization celebrating women in the arts.
This is where Emma’s passion for film/media composing was truly born. The crossover between understanding both the creation of sound and image in order to tell a story unfolds in these two main paths: a composer and multimedia creative.
In addition to photographing/videographing artistic events, Emma loves to create short films or sketches. This has been something she’s done since she was eight years old; although all her actors were her teddy bears and Barbie dolls at the time, she has since grown to recruit student actors and film on a Canon rather than an iPod.

Compose
Emma’s secondary focus is composition. She’s worked with several renowned ensembles, such as loadbang, Everything Everything, and the Juniper Quartet to premiere arrangements and original works. She studies under the 2023 winner of the Social Justice Prize in Wind Ensemble Composition, Dr. Dan Cavanagh.
Emma studied flute performance under the exceptional Dr. Conor Nelson for two years before turning her focus to composition. She plays the flute, piano, some percussion, and is learning the alto saxophone and guitar! Her love for performance hasn’t gone away, and she loves to conduct as well. Emma currently plays with the Ire Trio.
