Concerts

For Adults

"Uplifting and inspiring performances."

"You help us feel. I'm grateful that through your songs you can help us directly experience peace. I call this experiential worship. I'm still feeling the songs flashing through my head and heart, feeling kind of strong and vulnerable the way truth makes us feel."

Everyday Bravery 

Sarah takes life stories and communicates the heartbeat of courage. 

Performances have included the People's Voice Cafe, NYC.

An Outbreak of Peace 

Inspired by Sarah's award-winning book, peace songs from many writers and from many decades are shared. Sing along is encouraged. 

Performances have included the Hilltown Folk Series.

For Schools

"Unbelievably phenomenal is what the teachers said about your concerts on conflict resolution and Building Bridges. You are a master of communication, teaching and inclusion. You treat the audience with genuine respect and dignity. My life has been changed by this day."
 — Kate Blagdon, Mentor teacher, Meadow School, Petaluma, CA

Day-long Residency on Social Skill Discovery Through Music:

Sarah works with four classrooms to learn new songs and engages students in performing at a larger assembly at the end of the day.

Performances have included schools in California, Minnesota, North Carolina, and New England.

Talk It Out

Children develop communication skills with activities individualized for each classroom.

Songwriting

Children use cooperation methods to create songs together.

Two Hands Hold the Earth

Ecological awareness through science songs.

Building Bridges

Songs from many traditions develop respect for our multicultural world.

Courage Choir

When students or teachers have losses or illness, Sarah's programs give a chance for skillful processing and support. Schools have also asked her to write songs with students after the death of a member of the school community and have felt strengthened.

For Family and Community

Joyful participatory concerts teach new songs and share rhythm instruments from around the world—shekeres, rainsticks, the cuica, and the shak-shak beans. Sarah has been singing across the country for over thirty years and likes to individualize the programs to fit the setting. Programs have ranged from intimate walks through a forest to a full hall of four hundred people to rollicking outdoor events at the Clearwater Folk Festival.
