Emily Martin
Creative
Soprano, Educator, Creative Strategist
I perform professionally, teach the next generation of artists, and help artists and institutions build sustainable creative careers.
I am a soprano, educator, and program designer. My work explores how artists build sustainable careers through performance, teaching, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Over a three-decade career across the United States, Europe, and Australia, I have performed with companies including the Santa Fe Opera, Palm Beach Opera, and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. I am an Associate Professor of Music at Bucknell University, Director of the Bucknell Voice Lab, and a Fulbright U.S. Scholar. I also consult with artists and institutions on program design and career strategy.
My second commercial album, Halfway There, was released on Albany Records in June 2026. I am currently pursuing an MSc in Innovation & Entrepreneurship at HEC Paris and co-designing the Creative Enterprises M.S. at Bucknell University.
