Emma Clark is a soprano originally hailing from DeWitt, Michigan. She began studying both piano and voice at a very young age, and now enjoys singing in a wide variety of styles. As a child Emma would run around her home, wearing only a hat, singing and dancing to her parents’ dinner theatre repertoire. Today, she continues to follow her passion for the arts, though more appropriately dressed.

Emma currently resides in Bowling Green, Ohio. In April of 2024, she completed her Master’s of Performance in Voice at Bowling Green State University, studying with Myra Merritt-Grant and Katherine Pracht Phares.

A few recent stage credits include Fiona in Brigadoon (BGSU), Sandman/Dew Fairy (covers) in Hänsel und Gretel (Musikverein in Vienna, Austria), Damigella in The Coronation of Poppea (BGSU), Claire in Ordinary Days (Hope College), and Rapunzel in Into the Woods (Hope College). Recently Emma and her duo partner, Stephen Eckert (piano), have recently planned and performed two art song concerts at the Toledo Club in Toledo, OH, with the support of The David Silvas Group. Emma was the 2023 winner of the Marjorie Conrad Art Song Competition at BGSU, and served as Assistant Director to Professor Keith Phares for the CMA’s spring 2024 production of Pauline Viardot’s Cendrillon. On Sunday mornings you can spot Emma serving as a section leader at St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Perrysburg, OH. You can also find her teaching private voice lessons at Riverfront Studios in Waterville, OH.

Along with her love for performing and teaching, Emma also enjoys arts administration. Emma holds a Bachelor of Art's degree in English with minors in communication and music from Hope College. She recently served as a Special Projects Assistant to the Dean of the College of Musical Arts at BGSU. As part of her duties in this position, Emma acted as the Director for the BGSU Summer Music Institute Camps. Overall, she has held a variety of positions in publicity, administration, and marketing throughout her years of collegiate education.

Telling stories is an important part of Emma’s love for the arts, and she finds fulfillment in the mental work it takes to prepare music, monologues, and roles. This appreciation for storytelling also influences her joy for writing. Emma seeks to combine her spirit for singing, writing, and acting over the course of her career through lyrical composition collaboration with other musicians, play writing, and arts management. During her graduate degree, Emma collaborated on an art song project called lifetrees with fellow BGSU graduate student, Jonathan Kroeger. Emma is also a published poet! Her poem An ode to loaded nachos and light, summer beer with lime appears in 86 Logic’s 8th issue.

Emma is an avid traveler. During the summer of 2025 she journeyed to Lefkada, Greece, where she participated in the Lefkas Music Week. While there, she enjoyed participating in and observing daily masterclasses with Donald Marazzo. During both the summers of 2022 and 2023 she had the opportunity to perform in Vienna, under the direction of Wolfgang Reisinger in May of 2022 and with the Vienna Opera Academy in July of 2023.​
