Emily Stewart, born in London in 1985, is a Vienna-based violinist.
She belongs to a generation of string players who, though classically trained, have also studied improvisation and explored a wide range of musical styles. This versatility, along with her ability to adapt quickly to different settings, has made her a sought-after violinist and violist for a broad spectrum of projects—both live and in the studio.
Emily is a member of the Viennese pop band Neuschnee, singer-songwriter Violetta Parisini’s band, and the retro film music ensemble Velvet Elevator Orchestra. Since 2016, she has performed with Swedish jazz pianist Jan Lundgren’s Tribute to Jan Johansson across venues and festivals throughout Europe. In 2019, she joined the Soap&Skin live band as both violinist and backing vocalist for the From Gas to Solid / You are my Friend European tour. More recently, she became part of the Wienerlied duo—now trio—Bohatsch & Skrepek & Stewart.
As a stage musician in theatre and performance, she has collaborated with the American performance group Saint Genet since 2016 and has worked on several productions at the Wiener Burgtheater since 2017.
Emily Stewart grew up in Costa Rica, where she began studying violin and piano at the National Institute of Music at the age of five. She moved to Austria in 2002 to continue her studies at the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz. A year before completing her degree in classical performance, she stepped away from music and earned a bachelor's degree in Translation from the University of Vienna. She later returned to the Anton Bruckner Private University to study jazz violin with Andreas Schreiber.
