Emily Owen

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. 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.
