Emma strives to connect artists and audiences by creating program notes, event descriptions, and other forms of written communication that celebrate art and invite everyone to experience it at their own pace.
In addition to creating concert programs, Emma has supported numerous arts organizations through their season announcements and other major campaigns by drafting marketing copy, annual reports, press releases, and related content.
Outside of the arts world, she was the editor for two editions of the Diabetic Health Journal, created by health coach Lauren Bongiorno.
Emma worked in the Minnesota Orchestra’s communications department from 2015 to 2022 as a writer, editor, and media relations manager. One of her key roles there was as the assistant editor for Showcase, the orchestra’s monthly program magazine. She has also been the primary writer and editor for Madeline Island Chamber Music’s annual program book since 2014.

“Emma was the ideal writing and editing partner in producing the Minnesota Orchestra’s Showcase program magazine from 2015 to 2022. We put out a higher-quality magazine each month thanks to her creativity, attention to detail and interest in always expanding her perspectives, and through her insider’s knowledge of the orchestra world as a professional musician. The Orchestra has enjoyed continuing to work with her as a freelancer and we know we’re in good hands, whatever the project—from marketing brochure copy to program notes ranging from standard repertoire to never-recorded works.” - Carl Schroeder, Publications Editor, Minnesota Orchestra
