WHO IS SHE?
Emma Lumsden, from Murrieta, California, is going into her fourth year at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music where she is pursuing a Bachelors of Science in an Outside Field in Environmental and Sustainability Studies, with a focus in Environmental Ethics and Justice, and Horn Performance. She began her music career at the age of 5 when she started taking piano lessons and later began playing French horn in 5th grade. After one year of playing French horn, she started private horn lessons with Warren Gref and continues to study with him whenever she is back in Southern California. Since starting her undergraduate degree, she has been a member of the Jeff Nelsen Horn Studio at the Jacobs School. In the 2019 fall semester, Emma studied abroad in Vienna, Austria, where she took lessons with Franz Söllner, in addition to studying chamber music with world renown musicians from across Europe. |
Outside of music, she is passionate about advocating and being active in fighting against the disparities of marginalized people, in both environmental and musical aspects. In Jacobs, she is involved in the Student Representative Committee's Diversity and Equity Task Force, created to bring underrepresented music and musicians to the core of Jacobs curriculum and programming.
