Emma Riebe is a musician, teacher, and creative who loves movement, a good book, being outdoors as much as possible, and is a newbie gardener. Posted up in Flagstaff, AZ since 2012, she has been cultivating a creative hub for herself and her students in the mountain town that has become home.



Emma is a cellist who studied cello performance with teacher Mary Ann Ramos at Northern Arizona University and under Tanya Carey, Avi Friedlander, and Carey Cheney in Suzuki pedagogy. She was the winner of NAU's Concerto Competition and had the privilege of performing the Elgar Cello Concerto with their symphony orchestra. Emma is also a member of the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra and plays in various chamber groups, recently having the incredible opportunity to perform chamber music in the Grand Canyon on an 8-day river trip.

​

Emma loves crafting gorgeous moody string arrangements for other musicians. She got her start after spending the majority of her twenties in TOW'RS, an alternative folk band out of Flagstaff. With the group (who are also some of her most beloved friendships) she developed a whole new side of live collaboration and performance (often improvisatory) as a result of the several cross-country tours she performed on. From the process of producing most of the strings on the four albums she was involved in the making of, she forged her muscles for studio producing and recording.  Emma likes to write string parts that bring in unexpected colors and moods, and reflect the complexities and contradictions that is being human.
