British-Polish violinist Emily Trubshaw is a dynamic and versatile musician, known for her innovative approach to concert structure and programming. Her performances have been praised as "fresh, enthusiastic, and technically accomplished" (Andy Tyler, Lynn News).

Emily regularly performs across the UK, with notable appearances at St James’ Piccadilly, the Oxford and Cambridge Club, and Rhyl Music Club. A passionate advocate for contemporary music, she made her professional debut with the London Sinfonietta at Queen Elizabeth Hall, where her playing was noted for its "beautiful drooping expressivity and rumbustious energy" (Ivan Hewett, The Telegraph). She has also been part of the London Sinfonietta Academy, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group's NEXT scheme, and is currently a Riot Ensemble Art Mentor Scholar. Emily has premiered several works, including Naomi Pinnock's A Shadow of a Thing as part of the Royal Academy of Music’s ‘200 Pieces’ project.

As a chamber and orchestral musician, Emily has performed at major venues including the Southbank Centre and the Royal Albert Hall (BBC Proms, National Youth Orchestra). She has served as concertmaster for the Kensington Chamber Orchestra, Cambridge University Orchestra, and London Lawyers Symphony Orchestra. Her collaborations include performances with the Knussen Chamber Orchestra, Docklands Sinfonia, and Waterperry Opera Festival. In 2023, she recorded Bach's keyboard partitas (rearranged for chamber orchestra) with the Royal Academy of Music Soloists Ensemble.

Emily has won several prizes, including first prize at the Oxford and Cambridge Club Music Prize in 2022, and has participated in masterclasses with renowned violinists such as James Ehnes, Zakhar Bron, Mihaela Martin, and Daniel Hope. This year, she was accepted onto the prestigious Santander Encuentro and has previously performed at the New Millennium International Chamber Music Festival and Dartington Music Summer School and Festival.

In addition to her performance career, Emily has directed and produced ensembles including the Cambridge University Orchestra and the London-based Cavatina Orchestra, and was president of St John’s College Music Society. She has also served as assistant producer for the Wunderhorn Festival in Leipzig and interned at CLB Management, where she freelanced as a marketing director. Emily is developing interests in journalism and broadcasting, contributing to the Royal Academy of Music's magazine and radio station, as well as KCL Radio.

A graduate of the University of Cambridge with first-class honours and distinction in music, Emily earned her master’s degree with distinction from the Royal Academy of Music, studying under Jack Liebeck, and is now continuing her postgraduate studies with So-Ock Kim. She is grateful for the support of the Royal Academy of Music, Help Musicians UK, the Albert Cooper Music Trust, and the Kathleen Trust.
