Emily Hamilton is a soprano and bassoonist with a passion for contemporary music. With a love for collaborating with living composers, she has worked alongside and premiered eight works by composers Lily Koslow, Sean Smith, Julian Green, Gabriel Wallerstein, Christopher Ducasse, Hyo-Won Woo, and Thomas Quirion.

Emily is currently preparing to perform in La Cenerentola with the Wichita Grand Opera as a super. She is a Bassoon, Voice, and Piano Instructor at Palen Music Center. Additionally, she is a Soprano Section Leader at First Presbyterian Church.

This season, Emily made her professional debut with the Wichita Grand Opera as Turnspit in Rusalka. She made her role debut as Lieschen in Bach’s Coffee Cantata, and she sang the echoes and as a part of the children’s chorus in Hänsel und Gretel. In the 2023-24 season, she sang in Bernstein’s Candide with the Wichita Grand Opera, as a member of the chorus.

She is a recent graduate of the Schulich School of Music of McGill University where she obtained her Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance under the tutelage of Joanne Kolomyjec and Anja Burmeister.

Emily’s passion for music was born from a love of languages.

This appreciation for languages shows in her performances: Emily has performed in English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Haitian Creole, Swahili, Latin, Russian, Mongolian, Hebrew, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, Arabic, Swedish, Icelandic, and Czech. She looks forward to working on music in other languages in the future.

Some pictures from my hike along the Sentiero Rilke yesterday. I didn't get to finish the trail since I went in the middle of the day and it was SO HOT, but I'll finish it before I leave! Pictured is the Castello di Duino.
