Biography
Emily Green, born and raised in the Twin Cities, MN, began her music studies at the age of six; she studied the Suzuki Piano Method with Barbara Rossow. At the age of 11, Emily picked up the horn, continuing both her piano and horn studies through high school. Her most honorable high school awards include receiving 1st Place in the International Horn Society's Mid-North Workshop High School Solo Competition, receiving the John Philip Sousa Band Award for superior musicianship and dedication, and participating in the MMEA All-State Concert Band both her junior and senior year.
Emily completed her freshman year of college at Vanderbilt University's Blair School of Music, attending as a Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholar: one of the school’s highest distinctions awarded to less than 1% of incoming undergraduates on the basis of academic achievement, intellectual promise, leadership skills, and contribution outside the classroom. She was pursuing a Bachelor of Music in horn performance under the tutelage of Professor Leslie Norton. While at Vanderbilt, Emily served as the Assistant Student Manager for the Vanderbilt Symphony Orchestra and was the Marketing Intern for the Grammy-nominated ALIAS Chamber Ensemble, a nonprofit chamber ensemble dedicated to an innovative repertoire, artistic excellence, and a desire to give back to the community. Emily also joined the Nashville Opera as their Education and Community Outreach Intern for a brief period.
After completing her first year of college, Emily transferred to the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities to continue her education as a School of Music and John E. Free Scholar, studying under Professors Caroline Lemen and Ellen Dinwiddie Smith. She graduated in May 2019 with a Bachelor of Music in horn performance and a public and non-profit management minor through the Carlson School of Management. While at the University of Minnesota, Emily was a recipient of the Kappa Kappa Psi Scholarship for outstanding leadership and dedication to her musical community, in addition to winning the University of Minnesota Bands Concerto Competition during the 2017-2018 school year. She performed Ralph Hermann's Concerto for Horn with the University's Symphonic Band in February and March, 2018. Green actively performed as Principal Horn of the University Symphony Orchestra and Wind Ensemble, and served as the University of Minnesota Bands Social Media Coordinator for the 2018-2019 school year.
Emily's most notable honor(s) in college include being awarded Third Prizes in the Mock Military Band Audition and Mock Orchestral Audition at the 2019 International Women's Brass Conference in Tempe, AZ.
Emily's passion for arts administration began with her founding of the Young Musicians of Minnesota in 2013, a completely student-led and operated organization that advocated for the future of classical music in Minnesota. From her time with the Young Musicians of Minnesota, Emily has gained first-hand knowledge on how to create and operate an active youth orchestra of 100 students, which included fundraising, communications, web development, and writing press releases, concert programs, and social media content. She has had articles and radio interviews published on Classical Minnesota Public Radio in regards to her experiences with the Young Musicians of Minnesota. Green also holds brief past positions working on the Board of Directors for the Mississippi Valley Orchestra and Save Our Symphony Minnesota.
Passionate about music education and working with students, Emily has worked for a variety of music education nonprofits, including Classical Minnesota Public Radio, Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies, Minnesota Youth Symphonies, and the Minnesota Music Educators Association.
Green is currently in school to receive her Master of Science in Data Science, with graduate certificates in big data and artificial intelligence. She works full-time as an IT Data Engineering Intern for CHS Inc. and part-time as the Head Music Librarian for Minnesota Youth Symphonies. She continues to freelance as a horn player in the Twin Cities and Midwest region and undertakes speaking engagements about technology and networking in arts organizations.
In her spare time (what spare time!?), you can find Emily with her nose in a book, cooking, staying active, watching football, writing freelance articles for Classical Minnesota Public Radio, and snuggling with her cat named Simba.
