A native New Yorker, Emily Martin has performed as a solo pianist and chamber musician for audiences near and far. She has performed in the United States and internationally at venues such as Weill Recital Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, Steinway Hall, Tenri Cultural Institute, the Teatro Vittorio Alfieri, and at numerous events held by Mayor Bloomberg at Gracie Mansion. A graduate of New York University, Emily received her Master of Music degree in Piano Performance in 2019 under the tutelage of Eteri Andjaparidze. During this time, Emily was also an instructor at NYU on the Adjunct Faculty in Private Piano. She received her Bachelor of Music degree magna cum laude from New York University in 2015, where she studied with Seymour Bernstein. At NYU, Emily also discovered her love of composing. Her composition Three Spanish Sketches, was inspired by her wanderings in Asturias, Spain.
Recent performances include numerous recitals at The Dorflinger Factory Museum in White Mills, Pennsylvania. Spring 2018 marked Emily’s first appearance at the Dorflinger, with the exciting collaborative recital, An Evening with Emily Martin and Friends. She later performed here in 2019, with a debut solo recital of American music featuring works by Edward MacDowell, Marion Bauer, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Richard Danielpour, and Mason Bates. In September 2024, Emily presented Visionary Women at the Dorflinger: a recital of works by remarkable female composers of the late 19th/early 20th Century. This concert was later presented in Manhattan at Saint John’s in the Village in December, 2024.
Upcoming appearances include at The Guggenheim, performing with Rashid Johnson’s work Sanguine and in concert with pianist Rita Rovenskaya as a four-hand duo with their program Songs and Dances From Afar.
When not making music, Emily enjoys photography (see her work at still life paper), cooking, and being in nature.
