About

Emma Lippert (b. 2002) is a composer currently based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her work is grounded in the belief that introspection is rooted in creativity. While music is often thought of as a form of escapism, within that escapism also resides a safe and creative space for self-expression and introspection. Lippert’s music is often described by colleagues as idiomatic, colorful, and quasi-minimalist. By incorporating themes of personal growth into music which features an abundance of gradual transformation, she attempts to create works that both engage the ear and provoke self-reflection.

Lippert’s works have been commissioned and performed in Wichita, Kansas, as well as Greensboro, North Carolina, and Hartford, Connecticut. A recent collaboration includes a new work for doubling trio and fixed media written for Pathfinders Trio to be premiered at the 2027 International Women’s Brass Conference in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Lippert holds dual Bachelors’ Degrees in Music Composition and French horn Performance from Wichita State University and is currently pursuing a Master’s of Music Composition at the University of Utah.
