Sarah Hagen

A classical pianist with a wry wit, Sarah Hagen enjoys a rich and diverse concertising life as both soloist and humorist. Her extensive touring has taken her across Canada, to Europe and to the United States, including twice to New York City’s Carnegie Hall. Awarded as Artist of the Year by both Ontario Contact and the BC Touring Council, her interpretations have been described as “outstandingly inventive” [University of Waterloo Gazette], ”played flawlessly” [ReviewVancouver], “with great sensitivity and heart” [Vernon Morning Star].

Sarah has released four albums. Her most recent recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations was described by Whole Note magazine as “something to absolutely die for” and was the recipient of two Music PEI Awards and two East Coast Music Award nominations. Highlights of recent seasons include solo sets at Tønder Festival in Denmark, Mariposa Folk Festival, and Vancouver Island Music Fest.
