Emma_Johnson is an internationally-acclaimed clarinettist with an active career that spans major European, American and Asian venues. Her recordings of music by composers like Finzi and Milton have cemented her place among the UK’s best selling classical artists; most recently her Piano Works by Philip Glass CD for Nimbus Alliance received rave reviews with Classic FM even recognizing it as an impressive landmark disc.

Her work explores the fragmented nature of memory and time through an almost compulsive collection, categorisation, deconstruction and juxtaposition of objects, images and text. She reconstructs maps into artworks by cutting paths or layering each piece symbolically as an attempt to limit and contain streams of thought and information that define our daily lives.

She serves on the trustee of Playlist for Life music charity and as an honorary fellow at Pembroke College, Cambridge where her portrait was unveiled in 2018. Additionally, Emma Johnson wrote the clarinet concerto Tree of Life which has been performed all around the world and recorded by Emma Johnson & Friends (on the Nimbus Alliance label).

She is equally passionate about equality issues affecting women’s rights and family issues, having founded Moms for Equal Parenting as a non-profit organisation advocating equally shared parenting. She has given testimony at state legislature hearings in Georgia and South Dakota as well as Scottish Parliament working groups; additionally, her articles have appeared in multiple publications such as the New York Times, USA Today, Glamour Wired Men’s Health Woman’s Day.
