Music Direction
As a musical director, Sarah has worked on classic and new musicals, plays with music, actor-muso pieces, and concerts in venues including the UK's National Theatre, Heimathafen Neukölln, 54 Below, Two River Theater, and universities across the US, UK and Germany. She is a versatile, collaborative pianist who most frequently conducts from the keys, and she prides herself on the deep musical dramaturgy she brings to song interpretation and arrangement. Sarah is currently collaborating with Berlin-based Musiktheatergruppe glanz&krawall as a musical director, composer, arranger and accompanist, and she frequently teaches Liedinterpretation at HfS Ernst Busch and music directs in the Musical/Show course at UdK. She is the ongoing music supervisor for the cult favorite Fellowship! The Musical Parody of The Fellowship of the Ring. In 2022, she participated in Stage Entertainment's workshop for female conductors, which had a final concert at Stage Operettenhaus in Hamburg.
