Sarah didn’t start off playing the flute. In the fourth grade, she played viola because it was “so easy.” Later on in band class, she chose the flute to avoid brass. By middle school, Sarah knew
she would be making music for a long time. In her undergraduate years she double-majored in flute and voice. While she never finished her voice degree, she “lives vicariously” through singers from the orchestra pit of the Opera Boston.
A large percentage of Sarah’s impressive career has been spent playing contemporary music in ensembles such as Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) and several others. She says that Radius, with whom she’s appeared several times in the past, gives her the opportunity to play a more diverse repertoire of music that spans more time periods, as well as a connection with old colleagues like pianist Sarah Bob.What’s on Sarah’s ipod? She says rock, jazz, alternative and folk music, are all good to listen to while running; she does not listen to much classical music in her free time, finding it overwhelming to listen to casually. Instead, she recharges her intellectual battery with groups such as Vampire Weekend, Muse, Radiohead, and a Mexican guitar duo called Rodrigo y Gabriela.
Meet Sarah on November 15!
