Sarah Bob
Considered "first-class", "poised" and "sumptuous and eloquent" by
the Boston Globe, pianist Sarah Bob is an active performer and teacher
as well as a strong advocate for new music. Sarah has premiered numerous
works by both emerging and established composers including Gunther Schuller,
John Harbison and, by special request, has performed for Kaija Saariaho
and Franco Donatoni.
As a local and international artist, Sarah has performed in such venues as Boston's Jordan Hall, live on WGBH 89.7FM and Rotterdam's De Doelen and VPRO-Dutch radio. She is an honors graduate of the University of Michigan School of Music and the New England Conservatory of Music. Her principal teachers include Steven Masi and Stephen Drury.
Sarah is founding director of the New Gallery Concert Series at the Community Music Center of Boston. These concerts, in which Sarah is an active participant, bring both new music and contemporary visual art together. In addition, Sarah is currently a performing member of the Radius Ensemble. Recent winner of an Yvar Mikhashoff Trust for New Music and prize winner of the International Gaudeamus Interpreters Competition 2001, Sarah can be heard playing the music of Lee Hyla on the Tsadik label.
