About Emily
Emily Robinson is a classical soprano soloist who has long been an active member of the musical community and a familiar face among festival choruses and choirs in the South Lakes area.
Emily has performed in oratorios, cantatas, and recitals throughout the area. She has sung solo pieces in churches and cathedrals and on stage all over the country, including Lichfield Cathedral, Sherborne Abbey and Lancaster and Sheffield Cathedrals. Taught locally by Tracie Penwarden-Allen, she then went on to train with Jane Irwin (RNCM) and Clare Shearer (RCS). With a repertoire spanning the musical spectrum from Baroque to Britten, Monteverdi to Modern, she sings Bernstein and Gilbert & Sullivan or Mozart and Handel with equal gusto. Notable performances have included Verdi's Requiem, Handels' Messiah and Orff's Carmina Burana; stage performances have included Dido in Dido & Aeneas, Queen of the Night in Preston Opera's production of Mozart's The Magic Flute, and Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance. In 2018 she gave four performances of Schubert's Winterreise song cycle in various venues, accompanied by Alex Phillips-Yates.
Emily teaches singing across a broad spectrum from classical to musical theatre, having completed courses in singing at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and Estill Voice Training in London and Manchester. She works in Further Education on the Performing Arts course at Kendal College and privately as a singing teacher, and has a passion for musical direction, directing three local choirs: Endmoor Community Choir, Carnforth Community Choir, and the male voice choir FELLas.
Emily enjoys singing with the Encore Opera Group, in addition to her solo work with other local choirs and performance groups and as a street performer.
