Sarah graduated from the RNCM with Bachelor of Music (Honours).  During her studies, she was awarded the Dianne Bolton Prize, was selected for the BBC Philharmonic Professional Experience Scheme, and as Principle Harp in the resident orchestra at the Cantiere Internazionale d’Arte (Montepulciano).  As a member of the RNCM Harp Ensemble she performed at the Natural History Museum and the Baltic Art Gallery, and was honoured to be one of 60 harpists to play for Prince Charles’ 60th Birthday celebrations.  She currently enjoys an eclectic freelance career, teaching the harp and working regularly with orchestras across the North of England in addition to giving solo and chamber music recitals.  Recent highlights include recording projects on Arachne and Minerva (a new work for two harps and voice by Ed Carter,) Fountains of Rome (Black Dyke Band) and solo recordings, in addition to performances of Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols at Ushaw College and Ripon Cathedral, and Debussy Danse Sacree et Danse Profane with Skipton Camerata.

As a duo, Roseberry Rhapsody have given recitals at The Old Low Light, Long Newton Music, All Saints Church Northallerton, Marske Centre and Classical Cafe at Middlesbrough Town Hall (including a recent, interactive concert for school children.) They recently collaborated on the Most Creative Station project (creating a soundscape for Middlesbrough Railway Station,) and took part in the Easter Reflection Service at Emmanuel Church, Saltburn.  They also regularly enjoy playing for weddings and other functions.  Sarah and Jeremy are also part of Encore, a quartet of piano, voice, cello and harp who specialise in concerts packed with easy-listening favourites.
