We are SO excited to be working with the talented young bassoonist Emily Ambrose.
Emily is an RCM Scholar in the final year of her BMus, studying with Joost Bosdijk, Emily Hultmark, and Andrea de Flammineis. Prior to joining the RCM, she studied with Joanna Baillie Stark at the Junior Department of the Royal Academy of Music.
An active freelance player in London and further afield, Emily has worked with a variety of ensembles, including the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the Royal Northern Sinfonia. In 2024/25, she was awarded a fellowship position with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
Summer courses such as the Encuentro de Música y Academia de Santander, Hellensmusic, and the European Masterclasses and Orchestra (KMH Stockholm) have enabled Emily to develop her skills in chamber music. With the Colares Ensemble, she has recently taken part in the Concours International de Musique de Chambre de Lyon.
Previous solo performances include recitals at the Savile Club, Budleigh Festival, Norden Farm Arts and the Rossini Concerto with the Westbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Emily also enjoys discovering and performing new works for bassoon whenever possible.
Emily is very grateful for the generosity of those who have supported her over the years. Assistance has been provided by the Finzi Trust, the Royal Philharmonic Society, the Cherubim Trust, the Leverhulme Trust, the Hattori Foundation, the Drake Calleja Trust, the Ewelme Trust, and the Denne Gilkes Trust.
