Emily Davidson (B.M. ‘10) studied Cello Performance at Hartt
from 2006 to 2010. She is currently living in Boston.
What have you been up
to since you graduated from Hartt?
After studying at Hartt, I continued on to the Longy School of
Music of Bard College to study Early Music Performance. Since completing my
Master’s, I've been freelancing in the Boston area as both a performer and a
teacher. There’s a thriving early music scene here in Boston, so I often play
in chamber music concerts with various local groups in addition to my own solo
projects. In the last two years I released and self-produced two solo albums,
BASS SOUNDS, which focus on unaccompanied cello music from the baroque period.
The first album featured 17th century pieces by Domenico Gabrielli and Giovanni
Battista Degli Antonii, and included the first Cello Suite by J.S. Bach to hear
more familiar repertoire in a new context. I followed with BASS SOUNDS: Evolved
this past July which explored 18th century unaccompanied pieces by Joseph Marie
Clément Dall’Abaco and Friedrich Dotzauer. Evolved included the second Bach
Cello Suite in D minor. Both are available at http://emilyplayscello.bandcamp.com.
What are you involved
with right now?
