Emily Touchet (cello) is a musician, writer, and student based in Somerville. Emily grew up studying classical cello in a family environment that was also swirling in folk/roots music. She cares deeply about the ways music learning can be grounded in critical pedagogy, and loves cello playing especially for the ways in which it is a process of community building through shared creation. She has performed in various folk and traditional music groups and collaborated on multiple projects including playing string parts on Maxo Pardo’s debut hip hop/R&B album, Boundaries and being a founding member of the all female jazz-fusion band, The Dames.
