Described as “enchanting” by the Boston Globe, flutist Sarah Brady is sought after across the country as a soloist, chamber musician, and master teacher. An avid promoter of contemporary music, she has premiered and recorded new music from many of today’s leading composers. Her chamber and orchestral recordings can be heard on the Albany, Naxos, Oxingale and Cantaloupe music labels. As a leading interpreter of contemporary music, she was invited to read and record new music commissioned by Yo Yo Ma for his Silk Road Project at Tanglewood.
A freelancer in Boston, Sarah performs regularly as principal flutist with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project and Opera Boston. Other performances have been with the Boston Ballet, Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra and the Albany Symphony. As a chamber musician she has been described as “clairvoyantly sensitive” (New Music Connoisseur), and has collaborated with the Fromm Players at Harvard, the Firebird Ensemble, the Radius Ensemble, the Xanthos Ensemble and Just in Time Composers. In December 2006 she enjoyed a sold out, debut at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall with pianist Oxana Yablonskya.
In competition she recently was awarded second place in the National Flute Association 2006 Young Artist Competition, she was a Semi-finalist in the Myrna Brown Competition Flute Competition, Heida Herman Woodwind Competition, Eastern Connecticut Young Artist Competition, and twice received second place in Boston’s prestigious Pappoutsakis Flute Competition. Sarah was recently appointed to the flute faculty at the Boston Conservatory.
