Emily Burridge

EMILY is an outstanding classically trained ?cellist and innovative composer. She is a renowned master of her instrument, unique in her ability to improvise and cross genres of classical and contemporary music. She is a much in demand session player, and has worked with Roger Daltrey, George Michael, Chrissie Hind, Stereophonics and Hans Zimmer to name a few, and is featured on numerous albums and film soundtracks.

As a producer experiences of the native people and natural environment of Brazil have inspired the production of three solo CDs and although retaining elements of her classical origins the integration of tribal chants and ethnic rhythms gives her music a classical world ambience. "Earth Songs" and "Footsteps in the Sand" are song orientated and "Bridge between Worlds" is a contemporary orchestral work with solo 'cello and chants of the Xavante Indians integrated within. She currently has two live productions, a contemporary duo with Pedal Steel Guitarist BJ Cole and a solo performance "Bach, Burridge & into the Amazon " in which she combines Bach with modern looping technology and achieves exciting multi layered pieces in a live setting. In "Into the Amazon" she accompanies with the 'cello recordings of the forest of Brazil and chants of tribal people. She is founder of the registered charity "Indigenous People's Cultural Support Trust?.
