Emily Geoffroy is an American clarinetist from Portland, OR. As a clarinet instructor, she maintains a studio ranging from beginners to graduate students, coming from the United States, China, and Australia. She has performed solo and chamber music across the United States, Germany, and Austria. She has also played Bb, Eb, and Bass clarinets with the Eugene Symphony Orchestra, the Newport Symphony Orchestra, Clackamas Eugene Ballet’s OrchestraNEXT, and HfM Trossingen’s Hochschul Orchester. Recent summer festival participations include the Akropolis Chamber Music Institute 2023, Universität Mozarteum Sommerakademie 2022, and Buffet Crampon Summer Academy 2019.

 

In October 2022 Emily won 3rd Prize at the American International Single Reed Summit Competition in South Carolina, and was honored to be selected to perform in Universität Mozarteum’s Sommerakademie Preisträger Auswahlkonzert in August 2022, as well as to be a finalist in University of Oregon’s 2023 Concerto Competition. Emily has participated in masterclasses with David Krakauer, Nathalie Lefevre, Andreas Schablas, Zachary Good, and Mike Anderson.

 

A major project has been cultivating a platform on social media to showcase the clarinet. Emily uploads almost-daily videos of herself demonstrating fundamental exercises, orchestral excerpts, and solo repertoire to a network of 75,000+ Instagram followers on @emilygclarinet.

 

Emily graduated from University of Oregon in 2023 with a BM in Music Performance and a BA in German Studies. Currently she is pursuing a Masters of Music at the Manhattan School of Music under Charles Neidich. Her former teachers include Dr. Wonkak Kim, Chen Halevi, and Dunja Jennings-Marcum.
