Since childhood, performing has felt to be Emily’s second nature. Discovering theatre through community pantomime, she has since been developing as a musician and actress. She’s performed in vast musicals, concerts and events all over Sheffield and beyond, and has in more recent years strived moreso into classical music. She has achieved success in both a DipLCM in Musical Theatre and an ALCM in Classical Singing. She studied at the Sheffield Music Academy for many years, performing in orchestras, choirs, jazz groups, and also studied the flute. This academic year, she has worked as staff delivering singing and music skill lessons. Recently, her performance highlights have involved recitals in Hull, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield, the position of a soloist in Karl Jenkin’s The Armed Man, taking part in Haydn’s Creation which featured a tenor renowned from the Royal Opera House and studying for a term of acting at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama whilst hiring herself out to perform at events when requested. Soon, she qill be auditioning for music Conservatoires to study Singing, and will continue to teach and perform on side.

Walker & Atkinson Concerts

St Paul's Community Choir

This year, Emily and her partner Elliott Walker (pianist and church organist) have taken to organising and performing concerts to fundraise for various projects in Sheffield and Rotherham. Sometimes on their own and sometimes inviting other local musicians to perform, they've recently raised over £400 for St Paul's Church in Masbrough and over £300 for Talbot Lane at Rotherham town center. These performances have had guests such as the Mayor of Rotherham and have been featured in newspapers. Very recently, they were invited to perform in an all day fundraiser at Victoria Hall in Sheffield raising money for a Childrens Center in Dhaka, Bangladesh; this concert raised near £1000.
