Emory Southwick (they/them) is a composer based in the North-East of England. Emory currently composes choral works intimately, having graduated with a First in Music from Durham University. 

Emory mainly writes for choir including arrangements of tradition carols and settings of Welsh poetry; one of their recent works is a setting of Owen Sheers' poem 'Swallows'. This was premiered in May 2022 by the Choir of St Cuthberts Society, of which they were also the Director of Music.

Recently, they have been exploring graphic scores and incorporating art into music composition. Emory's piece ‘We Will Remember Them’ (pictured) is a graphic score for four-part Open Score written to commemorate those lost due to transgender-related violence for Transgender Day of Remembrance. It is an ode to those who have died because of transgender-related hate crimes, specifically the 46 trans people in the US alone who died over the course of 2021 before Transgender Day of Remembrance that year. They wrote this piece to give the nameless a voice, and so decided that each player would take on the voice of a person they would like to remember so that the dead will never be forgotten. This piece was awarded Durham University Music Department's EDI Prize 2022.
