Emily Tsai is an oboist who did her undergraduate degree at the Eastman School of Music, then went to the University of Maryland School of Music to take part in their Woodwind Quintet Fellowship. She’s now a member of WindSync, the Assistant Principal of the Washington National Opera, and is back at the University of Maryland School of Music, this time as their oboe professor. I forgot to ask Emily how to connect with her and what she’s doing, but you can find links to her website and all of that information below!
