Meet Emma Desulme, the musical virtuoso, whose journey began at home, where the notes of her passion first echoed through the rooms. It was in the cozy familiarity of her own space that her love for music took root and flourished, setting her on a path of unparalleled talent and creativity.  As a young musician, Emma not only mastered the clarinet and Tenor Saxophone but showcased her exceptional skill at the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) on both instruments, achieving top marks at levels five and six.

Since those formative years, Emma has been an integral part of the Quartet, infusing her compositions with a blend of technical prowess and heartfelt emotion. From the band's inception, her deft orchestration has resonated through nine instruments, with the clarinet and Tenor Saxophone standing proudly at the forefront of her sonic tapestry.

But Emma's talents extend far beyond the realm of music. As a self-taught maestro, she seamlessly weaves captivating stories and poetic verses, showcasing her artistry not only through melody but also through the written word. An author and poet of remarkable depth, Emma's creative repertoire knows no bounds.

Yet, it is not only in the realms of music and literature where Emma shines. With unwavering dedication, she serves as a CPR instructor, harmonizing the art of saving lives with her enduring commitment to the band's journey. In each facet of her life, Emma brings a unique harmony, blending passion, skill, and compassion in a symphony of boundless talent and creativity.
