I perform solo cello with an electronic looper (which adds layers of harmony to create a fuller sound). I also use a pick-up which allows my sound to be amplified for larger spaces.
I perform jazz, pop, folk and classical and offer arranging services for specific repertoire requests.
My partner and I were recently married at Mt. Hope Farm and we wanted to add a special touch at our ceremony and cocktail hour. We found Sara through GigiSalad and it was probably the best decision we made for our wedding, she made our entire wedding experience all the more special!! We interviewed several cellists and heard samples of their music but as soon as her heard hers, we knew that we had to book her, we immediately felt her music, there was soul and depth in her in her cello playing. She was very professional, got back to us very quickly, so accommodating and easy to work with. She was able to make arrangements for all of the music that we wanted at ceremony and cocktail hour. All of our guests loved her playing! It was really special and magical for us!

I am a cellist and grew up in Portland, OR. After receiving a B.M. at Oberlin Conservatory and an M.M. at Rice University, I spent over a decade teaching for the award winning organization, Community MusicWorks and performing in the Providence String Quartet. Throughout my chamber music career, l've collaborated with groups ranging from the Turtle Island to the Orion, Borromeo and Muir String Quartets. In addition to my active involvement in chamber music, I perform solo concerts and teach music classes at Woodside Montessori Academy.
