SARAH QUARTEL
Composer & Educator
Commissioning
I regularly collaborate with choral leaders to compose music specially designed for their ensembles. Whether for a choir or church anniversary, choral festival or new music initiative, I treasure working directly with conductors and choristers to create a work that fits their spirit and voice. Fees vary according to length, instrumentation, and voicing.
Please contact me directly to inquire about commissioning.
