{"id":127,"name":"Emma Riggle","url":"","description":"As All Classical Portland's Music Researcher, I write about the cultural and historical context of our music, and provide our hosts with historical notes to share on the air. I find that when I learn about what a piece of music meant to the time and the people that produced it, the music speaks to me in a more personal and moving way. I hope that my work helps you find new connections with this music we love.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nI hail from Pennsylvania and Ohio, where I earned degrees in voice and music history at Geneva College and Youngstown State University. I taught university courses in voice and music appreciation before venturing west to the gloriously arts-filled city of Portland.<br>\r\nWhen I\u2019m not busy writing, you\u2019re likely to find me around our city singing and playing early music, or reading and painting in the cozy home I share with my husband Nathaniel and three spunky rabbits.","link":"https:\/\/www.allclassical.org\/author\/emma\/","slug":"emma","meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allclassical.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allclassical.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
