About the Artist

Emily Bate is a singer, composer and performer. She works fluidly across disciplines including music performance, theater and choral music.

Emily founded and conducts a 65-member queer community chorus called Trust Your Moves, an experiment in collective singing designed around liberation and co-creation.

Recent projects include: Wig Wag, a music-theater piece performed by a cast of 4 and the entire audience; the “CSA, ” a subscription art service that sends packages of interactive art to peoples’ home in the mail; the score for the film Queer Genius by Catherine Pancake; several shows with frequent collaborator Erin Markey, including the anarcho-musical A Ride on the Irish Cream, featuring “accessible, often punchy pop-rock” (New York Times), and “soaring musical numbers” (Artforum) that were “startlingly gorgeous, and packed with heavenly harmonies” (New York Post); and a composing collaboration with installation artist Patrick Costello. Emily has worked with artists like Ragnar Kjartansson, MJ Kaufman, The Bearded Ladies Cabaret, Pig Iron, and Mal Cherifi, and her work has been performed at venues across the US and UK.

Emily is a 2022 Art Works Fellow and a 2021 Pew Fellow. Her work has also been supported by the Independence Foundation, The Leeway Foundation, the MAP Fund, and more.
