Sarah Quartel SVG mask

“Sarah Quartel is a brilliant composer and clinician who sees the world, and singers themselves, more deeply than most. Her pieces have become many of our choir’s favourites, perhaps because her music is a reflection of herself, emitting an energy that draws people in. In just a few minutes with our choristers, Sarah had every eye shining with a new sparkle.”

Zimfira Poloz, Artistic Director
