Emily Stewart

Emily Stewart, born in London and raised in Costa Rica, lives and works in Vienna. She studied classical music as well as jazz and improvisation; her own work weaves these diverse influences into a unified whole. As an instrumentalist, her unique flexibility and sensitivity have made her a sought-after musician, both live and in the studio. She has performed throughout Europe with various pop and jazz ensembles, appearing in such festivals as Summer Nostos Festival Athens, Printemps de Bourges, Jazz Festival Copenhagen, Time in Jazz Sardinia, Jazz Festival Saalfelden, or Les Nuits de Fourvière. An accomplished theatre musician, Emily appears regularly with the American performance group Saint Genet and in several productions at the Vienna Burgtheater.
