Verified profile

Pianist/keys player, arranger, accompanist and piano tutor based in Manchester, graduate of the RNCM.

Based in Manchester and a Classical Piano Performance graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM), Emily has developed a versatile knowledge of many styles of playing- traditional classical solo piano, jazz and pop, as well as playing for Big Band, Musical Theatre and various different types of ensembles and bands. Emily has been booked for performances by names such as Premier League Productions, John Lewis and Buxton International Festival. She is a secure sight reader and able to confidently improvise and play by ear. Years of experience performing as a background pianist (most recently at the Manchester and Sheffield Virgin Money Lounges and the International Anthony Burgess Foundation) have equipped her well to interact with customers and use initiative to select the most appropriate music for a given situation. While Emily is a very capable soloist due to the demands of her chosen study at the RNCM, she particularly enjoys working with other musicians and works with ensembles on a regular basis.

We booked Emily to play at our wedding in July 2019. Emily performed for us prior to the ceremony, during the ceremony, and throughout the drinks reception and meal. It was a pleasure having Emily play for us. We met almost a year before the wedding to share ideas on the kind of music we would like. Emily has a brilliant repertoire so it was great to have a mixture of classical piano as well as more modern/popular pieces (and musical theatre songs, of which we requested quite a few). Emily kept in regular contact leading up to the wedding to ensure we were happy with the set list and to offer suggestions of pieces that might be crowd pleasers. Emily plays absolutely beautifully. One of the first things I remember about arriving at the venue on the day of the wedding was hearing Emily on the piano, I’m sure it was a Chopin nocturne drifting through the corridors. It was wonderful hearing her play throughout the ceremony. All of the guests commented on how great Emily’s playing sounded. It was a great comfort during the day hearing someone play the music we love with such perfection. We would absolutely recommend Emily for anyone looking for a wedding (or any event) pianist. Emily can play a broad range of styles and is great at gauging the mood in the room, knowing what style of song would be best placed to be played. A massive thank you to Emily for your hard work on the day, and I’m sure, all the rehearsals leading up to our wedding. We couldn’t be happier, you were amazing!

I was really pleased with my recent booking through Encore of Emily for Sat 17/6/17. Emily was punctual and very pleasant . Everyone enjoyed her lovely classical and popular music on her keyboard played at my mum and Dads 60th wedding celebration for 45 guests at the Bowden Hotel in Altrincham. I would recommend her to anyone. Jane Clarke

Emily was a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Emily researched her audience and adapted her programme to fit around our event. Emily has a real gift and showed a real passion for her music! We can't wait to work with Emily again.

We were privileged to be entertained by Emily at our fundraiser for Everest Base Camp! Emily is incredibly talented and all our guests were thrilled with her performance. We are sure that Emily has a phenomenal future that lies ahead.
