Emma Warren

Emma Warren is an award-winning conductor based in London. Emma is currently the Meaker Fellow at the Royal Academy of Music, where her year-long project includes conducting a concert series of choral music for upper voices and leading conducting workshops in local schools. Emma is Founder and Artistic Director of Inchant, a collective of young professional singers working towards greater accessibility in choral music; Music Director of the High Holborn Chamber Choir; and is regularly in demand as an Assistant and Deputy Conductor with ensembles across London and the surrounding area.

Emma was a scholarship student at the Royal Academy of Music, and gained a Distinction in her Master’s in Choral Conducting in 2023. During her studies, Emma worked with choirs including the Academy Chamber Choir, the BBC Singers, and the National Youth Choir of Great Britain. Upon graduation, Emma was awarded the Sir Thomas Armstrong Prize for Choral Leadership and the Alumni Prize for a ‘singularly distinguished musician’. Prior to this, she obtained a First Class Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Birmingham, where she majored in Choral Conducting.


Emma’s conducting is underpinned by her own experiences as a singer. While at the Academy, she studied singing with Alex Ashworth, and now freelances with professional church and chamber choirs in London. She has a keen interest in singing technique and vocal health, and wrote her undergraduate dissertation on the differing approaches to breathing technique in singing pedagogies since the 1500s. Emma also holds a Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music (LRAM) diploma in Vocal Technique and Singing Teaching.
