Emer Mayock is a musician and composer from Co. Mayo. She began to play traditional music during her childhood on a range of instruments including the Flute, Low Whistles, Fiddle and Uilleann Pipes. She has produced two CDs: 'Merry Bits of Timber' in 1996 and 'Playground' in 2001- the latter continuing her interest in writing new music and containing mostly her own compositions. Emer's love of the Flute in particular has lead her to bring it to centre stage on her recordings and at live concerts.

She has worked with among others, traditional musicians Donal Lunny, Paddy Glackin, the late Michael 0' Domhnaill, Cormac Breathnach, Flook!, Grada, harmonica player Mick Kinsella, guitarist John Doyle, singer Damien Dempsey, jazz musician Michael Buckley, French music producer Hughes de Courson, Breton harpist Alan Stivell, The Irish Chamber Choir, Italian baroque ensemble il Giardino Armonico (with whom she recorded a cd of Vivaldi's music), Greek singer Eleftheria Arvanitaki and the Grammy nominated Afro Celts.

In recent times Emer has continued to travel widely both with her own music and as a collaborative musician with highlights including concerts in China where she performed a new work by Chinese composer Jia Daqun and in Ireland collaborating with British musician Nitin Sawhney on a composition for The Festival of World Cultures, Dun Laoghaire.

Emer has written and recorded arrangements for traditional and Jazz musicians as part of radio producer Gerry Godley's 'Translations' programmme on RTE Radio One and has also had the pleasure of presenting a nine-week series on Radio One entitled 'The Wider Embrace', a non genre-specific program exploring music from a range of diverse sources.

Recent highlights have included concerts with legendary Sligo musician Peter Horan and a concert series in the USA. Emer composed the music for 'Winter Pictures', a play for children which has toured Wales and completed a run at The Ark in Dubln and Glor Irish Music Centre, Ennis.
