Emily Fischer is a Chicago-based violinist and educator devoted to creating meaningful musical experiences on and off the stage. She performs regularly with the Lincolnwood Chamber Orchestra and appears as an actress/violinist with Music Theater Works, where she recently took center stage as The Fiddler in Fiddler on the Roof at the George Van Dusen Theatre. Equally at home in classical, rock, pop, and jazz styles, Emily has performed at Art & Soul on the Fox Fest, the House of Blues, and opened for Cheap Trick as part of the band Yes Factory. She has also shared the stage with Robin Zander and Robin Taylor Zander.

Emily began studying violin at age three through the Suzuki Method—a philosophy that not only shaped her technique but also instilled a lifelong belief in music as a language of connection, beauty, and joy. She earned her master’s degree in Violin Performance with a concentration in pedagogy from the University of Louisville, where she served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant under Dr. Geoffrey Herd and received Suzuki certifications in books 1–10.

As an educator, Emily has taught advanced violin classes at the Suzuki School of Elgin, served as Executive Assistant at Knoxville Suzuki Academy, and worked as a private Suzuki violin and group instructor at Zanders Elementary School in Louisville, KY. She is currently on faculty at New Music School in Chicago, where she teaches private lessons and group classes, helping young musicians discover their unique voices through music while passing on the same wonder and love that has guided her own journey.
