Classical guitarist Emma Rush plays rare music from the 19th century, new Canadian music written just for her, a haunted sonata and one of her favourites from the Latin guitar repertoire.
Emma Rush is “widely regarded as one of Canada’s premier classical guitarists” (Vivascene Magazine) and her career has commanded world recognition. Touring highlights include the Altamira Shanghai International Guitar Festival (China), Festival de Guitarras Lagos de Moreno (Mexico), and Future Echoes Festival (Sweden), and performing on a cross-country train trip aboard The Canadian. In 2026 Rush will perform throughout Canada with appearances in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, and international performances will include the Iserlohn International Guitar Symposium in Germany and a U.K. tour. “Emma Rush has crafted a sound that transcends generations and speaks directly to the heart and soul.” (Too Much Love Magazine)
Emma Rush has received three City of Hamilton Arts Awards, and has had her work supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, Arts Nova Scotia, Hamilton City Enrichment Fund and FACTOR. She completed her graduate studies at the Hochschule für Musik Detmold in Germany and holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia.
