ECSE regularly appear on BBC Radio 3’s live show In Tune, and their BBC Proms debut was 2012.

Emily has played for productions with Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre since its opening in 1997, including tours to Chicago, Seoul, London West End and Barbados. Emily has played sackbut for Paul McCartney, appeared on Eastenders playing the trombone and performed sackbut in the Edinburgh International Festival with The Tiger Lilies. Emily plays principal trombone with the Italian ensemble Il Giardino Armonico, and appeared on the disc La Morte della Ragione, winner of Diapason d’Or de l’Année 2019. She is scheduled to tour three programmes of virtuosic 17th Century chamber music with them in 2021.
