​"An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down." – Maria Callas

Emily Rose Mandell is a genre-defying artist whose music inhabits the space between opera and pop, tradition and reinvention. Trained in classical voice at Oberlin Conservatory, her sound blends the power and technique of operatic vocals with the relatability of contemporary pop. Whether performing solo in a quiet bar or singing with an orchestra in a concert hall, Emily feels equally at home at any venue.

​

Her musical journey has taken her to the London International Choral Festival, the Tanglewood Festival with the Boston Pops, and Carnegie Hall with the Oberlin College Choir. Recently, one of her original songs was placed on the Official Ballot for the 67th Grammy Awards.

​

Emily’s influences include acclaimed opera singers from the past century, modern pop stars, and other artists who strive to blend the music of the past with that of the present. Today, she channels these voices into original music and makes it her own!

Emily is currently recording her debut album and is excited to share it with her listeners soon.
