Emerging into a singularly creative career, Sarah Rommel is a cellist whose rare sincerity and honest musicianship has established her as a sought-after collaborator, educator, and curator. Sarah’s passion for unconventional programming that incites curiosity and her deep commitment to long-standing artistic and human values are branding her as a unique and quietly rising force in the musical landscape. After capturing Third Prize at the 2014 George Enescu International Cello Competition in Bucharest, Romania, Sarah has given recitals at Caramoor’s Evnin Rising Stars Showcase, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and across the United States from Maine to Seattle. She has participated in classes at the Piatigorsky International Cello Festival, Academie Musicale de Villecroze in France, and IMS Prussia Cove in Cornwall, England where she has worked closely with distinguished professors such as David Geringas, Gary Hoffman, and Frans Helmerson. Praised for her rich sound and colorful approach to the cello, Sarah’s performances have been reviewed as “dimensional and expansive” and “captivating.” As a member of the Chameleon Arts Ensemble of Boston, Sarah performs regularly in Boston in addition to having toured with the East Coast Chamber Orchestra (ECCO), Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and Musicians from Marlboro. Through chamber music collaborations, Sarah has performed on stages such as Carnegie Hall, Disney Hall in Los Angeles, the Kennedy Center, the Freer Gallery in Washington, D.C., and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. International chamber music collaborations have found Sarah touring New Zealand with Chamber Music New Zealand and as an organizer and performer for the SOTA Resonance Festival in Hyderabad, India.
