Soprano Emily Crawford has worked in the Bay Area since 2014, when she auditioned and was accepted to participate in the Complete Package Performer opera boot camp under the direction of Susan Gundunas and several of her esteemed colleagues. Emily has sung Phènix Opera Company (Laysister/Novice Suor Angelica) West Bay Opera (Chorus Eugene Onegin, Faust, and Mozart’s Entfürung aus dem Serail), and Marin Baroque (understudy to Dido Dido & Aeneas). She has sung with Classical Revolution in performances of Bach’s Kaffe Kantata and Glenn Gould’s So You Want to Write a Fugue? She has sung as both soloist and chorus member with the Bay Area Classical Harmonies performing Handel’s Messiah and Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater. As an SFSU student she has premiered roles as well as portrayed classic roles in Die Fledermaus (Adele) and La Finta Giardiniera (Serpetta).
Emily is a graduate of SFSU where she earned a Master of Music degree in Opera Performance. She attended Drew University in Madison, New Jersey earning a Bachelor of Arts in Music. She sang Belinda in Drew University’s first opera production of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, as well as Donna Elvira in scenes from Mozart’s Don Giovanni. She also sang in the Madrigal Singers as its president, Drew Chorale, and University chorus.
In 2019, Emily won her division in the Sausalito Art Song Society's Art Song Contest, and sang from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor and Bernstein's Candide at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens' annual Flower Pianos event. During the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic, she shifted her work into online spaces. Emily programmed and performed a digital concert of Madness music to reflect the isolation and "cabin fever" felt collectively during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, she started an ear training program for children, "Easy as Do Re Mi" that she continues to add to today.
In 2022, Emily began performing with SF Salon Music in which she performed a combination of musical theater and operatic pieces.
In the Fall 2024 semester, Emily taught a Studio Voice class at Purdue University. She is now based out of the New York Metropolitan area where she is excited to grow as a vocalist and voice teacher.
