Emery Wegh started playing the cello in the second grade in the Farmington, CT, public schools and then was offered the chance to switch to the double bass. After having immersed himself totally in orchestral repertoire for several years, his focus shifted, and he soon found himself exploring the world of Bach cello suite transcriptions and double bass concerto repertoire. The experience of performing in the Connecticut All-State Orchestra and Hartford Youth Symphony solidified his passion for the instrument and he decided to pursue music as a career. He attended the Hartt School of Music and studied with contemporary and avant-garde double bassist Robert Black.

After he graduated, he joined the master of music program at UNCSA, studying with Paul Sharpe. He has performed in music festivals throughout Europe and the United States. Currently, he is a Performing Arts Certificate student at UNCSA and is focused on audition repertoire preparation. In the Fall of 2022, he won the assistant principal position with the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra, and he continues to play regularly with the Western Piedmont and Winston-Salem Symphony Orchestras. He is a very active private double bass teacher with a large studio of private students and frequent clinics in middle and high schools.
