In 2006, Emilie became the first viola player to compete in the Ljunggrenska competition and she reached the final which was broadcast in P2.
Emilie is a member of the Chiaroscuro Quartet, which specializes in the classical and early romantic repertoire, playing with period strings and late string instruments.

In September 2011, the Chiaroscuro Quartet released their debut album with music by Mozart and Schubert.

The quartet's second CD with music by Beethoven and Mozart will be released in March 2013.
