Pianist Sarah Hagen
WONDER WOMEN: A CELEBRATION OF FEMALE COMPOSERS
Sunday, FEBRUARY 25, 2024 - 2:30 pm
In Wonder Women, pianist and humorist Sarah Hagen delves into the remarkable stories and piano music of forgotten female composers from the classical repertoire. Her extensive touring has taken her across Canada, to Sweden, Denmark, France, Germany, and Italy, and twice to New York City’s Carnegie Hall. Honored as Ontario Contact’s 2017 Artist of the Year and the British Columbia Touring Council’s 2015 Artist of the Year, and mentioned by The Guardian as the Best Classical Performance of 2014, her interpretations have been described as “outstandingly inventive” (University of Waterloo Gazette), ”played flawlessly,” (reviewVancouver) and “with great sensitivity and heart” (Vernon Morning Star). Hagen’s motivation is the belief that music has the power to be a window into our souls, regardless of our age or musical knowledge.
