"Abbate breathes life into piano-writing that is frequently sparse but in which every shift of rhythm or colour speaks volumes."

Gramophone

"... complete assurance and clear dedication"

International Record Review

Described as 'an amazingly talented pianist' by Musica, Emma Abbate performs with many of the leading singers and instrumentalists of her generation.

Emma has made a series of acclaimed recordings devoted to Italian vocal chamber music with leading international artists including soprano Anna Pirozzi, mezzo-soprano Hanna Hipp, and bass-baritone Ashley Riches. Her discography will soon feature the world- première recording of keyboard duets by Samuel Wesley with her Duality partner Julian Perkins, and a ground-breaking programme with the newly-formed Zemlinsky Trio that will include commissioned works by Rhian Samuel and Steve Elcock.

Based in London, Emma is a professor at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, a staff coach at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and is regularly invited to teach at the Verbier Festival Academy in Switzerland.
