Hailed as a “masterful performer” of vintage jazz, pop, and cabaret, Sarah is a sought-after performer in clubs and theatres across the country. She has recently appeared as a featured vocalist with The Cincinnati Pops, The Cincinnati Opera, The Vocal Arts Ensemble, The Jazz Series at Memorial Hall, The Young Professionals Choral Collective, The Fitton Center for Creative Arts, The Washington Opera House, The Union Ensemble, and The May Festival Chorus, as well as on Cincinnati Educational Television and TVHamilton. In 2021, she competed as a quarterfinalist in the American Traditions Vocal Competition and released her first album with QCC, Count Your Blessings: A Tribute to Rosemary Clooney.
A native of Tallahassee FL, Sarah completed her Master’s degree at UC’s College-Conservatory of Music in 2015, where she currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Musical Theatre Voice. In addition to making a lot of noise, Sarah loves to garden, burn things on the stove, and hang out with her wife Amy and their two cats, Spooky and Jazzpurr.
Upcoming: “Perfectly Marvelous” at The Fitton Center for Creative Arts, “As Time Goes By” at Memorial Hall, “Rocktails” at The Carnegie, and Fiddler on the Roof (appearing as Fruma Sarah) at Cincinnati Opera.
