Violist Sarah Darling is always ready to explore new musical terrain. After a Bachelor's in music at Harvard and a year at the Juilliard School, she spent four years studying in Europe (Amsterdam and Freiburg) as a recipient of the Beebe, Paine, and DAAD grants. She has studied with James Dunham, Karen Tuttle, Nobuko Imai, Wolfram Christ, and Kim Kashkashian, with whom she is now completing a Graduate Diploma at the New England Conservatory. Sarah has toured extensively in Europe as a member of several chamber groups - in particular, the Amaryllis-Quartett and the Sweelinck Ensemble. A passionate advocate of new music, she has been involved in the premiere of more than 100 works, including two concertos dedicated to her and a solo sonata played in the Kennedy Center. She has performed in the Norfolk, Yellow Barn, Baden-Baden, Verbier, Lucerne, and Ravinia festivals, and alongside such artists as Joel Krosnick, Peter Frankl, Roger Tapping, Timothy Eddy, and the Ying and Borromeo quartets. Currently based in Boston, she is the founder and director of the Arcturus Chamber Ensemble, as well as the assistant director of the Harvard Baroque Chamber Orchestra with its artistic director Phoebe Carrai. She is also a founding member of Boston Hausmusik and the Laurel Quartet.
