Emmy Wils is a Belgian pianist from Tongeren. She received her first piano lessons from Johan Bossers at the Municipal Academy of Music in Tongeren before continuing her studies at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels with Piet Kuijken and Hans Ryckelynck.

She has received prizes at numerous national and international piano competitions, including Cantabile, Belfius Classics, the Concours de piano de Liège, the Concours André Charlier, the VriendenCultuurprijs Tilburg and Triomphe de l'Art.
