About

Violinist Emily Dahl is an active performer known for her inventive and intuitive style. She enjoys a diverse career ranging from broadway musicals to baroque opera. Emily’s concentration in historical performance has led to her playing internationally under luminaries within the early music field including Rachel Podger, Maasaki Suzuki, and John Eliot Gardiner. Performing works from the most intimate to the most grand, career highlights include a Beethoven-themed salon concert using an 1807 Broadwood piano and the St Matthew Passion at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Recognized throughout Boston for her poised and gracious sound, Emily can be heard with the Handel and Haydn Society, Les Bostonades, and Cambridge Concentus. An eager proponent of new ventures, she is a core member of Grand Harmonie, Emergence Quartet, and Antico/Moderno. Venturing further afield she appears regularly with Baroque Band (Chicago). After studying abroad at the Royal Academy in London, Emily now lives in Jamaica Plain where she happily investigates local bakeries and ice cream.

Music

For me, music is always better as a collaborative venture, so you won't find me playing any solos. And since I specialize in historical performance, my repertoire tends to focus heavily on music written between 1700 and 1880. Favorites: Rameau Cantatas, Haydn quartets, and Brahms sonatas.
