Emma Oldfield

Emma has just completed her Bachelor of Music at the Royal College of music, studying with Jan Repko and Gaby Lester. Much of Emma’s performing life now, is as first violinist of the Vasara Quartet which was formed in 2012 at the Royal College of Music.

Over the last four years the quartet have performed frequently at many of London’s top venues including King’s Place, Cadogan Hall, Conway Hall, Wigmore Hall, the South Bank Centre and the Elgar room at the Royal Albert Hall.

On top of this, Emma leads a varied and vibrant orchestral life. Recent highlights include leading the RCM Symphony Orchestra both for a recording of Britten’s Four Sea interludes at Abbey Road and for the premiere of Howell’s Cello concerto with Guy Johnston at Cheltenham festival.

Last year she was also fortunate enough to be selected to partake in English National Opera’s Evolve scheme allowing her to play with the orchestra over their 2015/16 season.
