Sarah's inquisitive spirit and passionate musicianship has guided her musical journey of over twenty years. At age four, Sarah gratefully began piano under the caring tutelage of her grandmother, a retired opera singer and life-long music teacher. Wildly inspired by hearing Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" in recital, at eight-years-old, Sarah determined that one day she would become a concert pianist. Her desire to wholeheartedly express music through the piano paved the way for many opportunities. Sarah performances have captured audiences across the United States, in Europe and China. Recently, Sarah was a featured performer in Simone Dinnerstein's Neighborhood Classics series in Brooklyn, NY and the AmeriKlavier Festival Concert at Steinway Hall. Her participation in music festivals including Vladimir Feltsman's PianoSummer, MusicFest Perugia, and Southeastern Piano Festival, led her to work with renowned artists including John Perry, Antonio Pompa-Baldi, Vladimir Feltsman, Boris Slutsky, Ilana Vered, and Alexander Korsantia. Sarah was a prizewinner at FITE Family International Competition, International Institute for Young Musician's IPC, and MTNA state and regional levels, and has performed on broadcasts including "A Life of Music" and Kansas Public Radio. Sarah has had the joy of collaborating with many talented musicians including cellists Keith Williams, Javier Inglesias Martin, Roland Gjernes. Sarah is indebted to her teachers, Steinway Artists Steven Spooner and Eteri Andjaparidze, as well as Pavlina Dokovska and Vladimir Valjarević, for their invaluable knowledge and dedication to teaching. Sarah graduated with Honors from Mannes School of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance. Currently, Sarah is enjoying working on personal projects at the piano.
In her spare time, you can find Sarah biking throughout Los Angeles, cooking & baking for friends, brewing artisan coffee, reading good books, and relaxing in beautiful scenery.
