Emily Sun
Emily Sun is supported by Artist Angels John and Diana Smythe.
“Possessed of a superb talent” (The Australian), with “a searing and poetic tone” (The Guardian), violinist Emily Sun is in demand internationally for her compelling and captivating interpretations. Her genuine connection with audiences and engaging presence have thrilled her growing audiences, as she performs as a concerto soloist with leading orchestras, as a chamber musician and recitalist in major concert halls around the globe. Recent performances have included with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and the Qingdao Symphony Orchestra working with conductors Vasily Petrenko, Jaime Martin, and Benjamin Northey.
Emily’s solo album, Nocturnes, was released on ABC Classics/Universal to critical acclaim; it reached No. 1 for four weeks in the ARIA Classical Charts and was shortlisted for ‘Best Classical Album 2021’ in the ARIA Awards. Emily was invited to perform at Buckingham Palace alongside Maxim Vengerov in Bach’s Double Violin Concerto at the Royal Gala in the presence of King Charles III, and at the Royal Palace of Brussels in the presence of the King and Queen of Belgium. She is currently Violin Professor at the Royal College of Music, London, and she performs on a 1753 G.B. Guadagnini ‘The Adelaide’ violin, kindly loaned to her by the UKARIA Cultural Trust.
