Emily Daggett Smith is a celebrated young violinist and chamber musician. In 2009, Ms. Smith won first prize at the Juilliard concerto competition and made her New York debut in Alice Tully Hall, playing the Beethoven violin concerto with the Juilliard Orchestra, under the direction of Emmanuel Villaume.
In 2008, she was appointed concertmaster of the Juilliard Orchestra and has led the ensemble under the direction of Michael Tilson-Thomas, Nicholas McGegan, and James DePriest. She has traveled with the orchestra to Beijing and Shanghai, as well as across the United States, performing in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Disney Hall in LA, and Symphony Hall in Boston. In addition to her work as a solo and orchestral musician, Ms. Smith is an active chamber musician. She has performed with such artists as Claude Frank, Joseph Kalichstein, and Orion Weiss, in Alice Tully Hall, Weill Hall, Symphony Space, and Zankel Hall.
In 2005, she won Gold Medal at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition in the junior division with the Alisier Trio. She is also the founding first violinist of the Tessera Quartet, an emerging New York-based ensemble, formed under the guidance of the Juilliard String Quartet. The Tessera Quartet has recently collaborated with Claude Frank and Lowell Liebermann and will record Liebermann’s complete quartets for Koch records.
Born in 1987, Ms. Smith grew up in the Boston area. She won various competitions in New England and performed violin concerti with the Brockton, Newton, and Waltham symphonies. She has appeared on PBS’s national broadcast, “Live from Lincoln Center,” as well as twice on NPR’s “From the Top.” She has participated in festivals including Kneisel Hall, the Orpheus program at The Juilliard School, Banff International Master Classes, and The New York String Orchestra Seminar, conducted by Jaime Laredo. For nine summers she attended Greenwood Music Camp in Cummington, Massachusetts, which fostered her deep love of chamber music. In honor of Greenwood’s 75th anniversary, Ms. Smith performed Saint-Saens’ Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso with the Greenwood orchestra at the Hatch Shell in Boston.
In 2009 Ms. Smith received her Bachelors of Music from The Juilliard School, where she is now pursuing graduate studies. Her teachers have included Donald Weilerstein, Nick Eanet, Laurie Smukler, Joel Smirnoff, and Masuko Ushioda. Ms. Smith lives in New York City.

Before coming to Juilliard, she received a Master’s degree in solo piano from The University of British Columbia as a student of Jane Coop and an Undergraduate degree from the University of Victoria.
Marnie has been the recipient of numerous awards and prizes, including awards from The Canadian Music Competitions, the BC Arts Council, Friends of Chamber Music, Performing Arts BC, and the Vancouver Women’s Musical Club. Most recently she won first prize at the Canadian Music Teachers’ Association National piano competition in Calgary, Alberta. In 2000, she was awarded the Gold Medal for receiving the highest mark in Canada on the A.R.C.T. piano performance exams, and she also holds an L.R.S.M. performance diploma from the Associated Board in London, England.
She has performed as a soloist with several orchestras, including the B.C. Chamber Orchestra, the Vancouver Academy Orchestra, and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. Last year she had her Merkin Hall debut in New York City, playing a recital with cellist and Juilliard faculty member Andre Emelianoff.
In the summer of 2009 she worked as a pianist and coach at the Daniel Ferro Vocal Program in Tuscany, Italy. She spent two summers at the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival in Blue Hill, Maine, and next summer will be attending the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara to study in the collaborative piano department. She currently works as principal keyboardist in the Juilliard Orchestra.
