A curiosity in the cultural background behind the music she plays led Sarah Stone to baroque cello and viola da gamba. She makes music around the country with Seraphic Fire, Apollo’s Fire, Baroque Music Montana, Washington National Cathedral, The Thirteen, and Trinity Baroque Orchestra. Sarah is Executive Director of the chamber ensemble Repast Baroque and Associate Artistic Director of New York Baroque Incorporated, programming the music for both 2023/2024 concert seasons. Because she thinks bringing early music to unexpected places is important in diverse communities; Sarah works with Bitterroot Baroque, a community baroque orchestra in rural Hamilton, Montana, that brings in period ensembles and musicians to perform and teach at early music workshops since 2015. “The show is not over... Questlove keeps spinning into the early morning. Sir Patrick Stewart has been reading a Shakespeare sonnet everyday. Sarah Stone, who plays cello and viola da gamba, has stuck to her “Bach Everyday” performances from her apartment in New York City. Since March 19, she’s done a Bach Chorale each day." (Geoff Edgers, The Washington Post, June 10, 2020). Recording everyday for over a year, her project Everyday Bach included chorales from cantata in order of BWVs, Christmas Oratorio, Magnificat, Art of the Fugue, and the B Minor Mass and was featured in the Washington Post, The Greene Space (WNYC), and Early Music America. Sarah holds a Masters in Historical Performance from the Juilliard School, a Masters from San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and a Bachelors of Music from Rice University. Her teachers include Mara Finkelstein, Norman Fischer, Jean-Michel Fonteneau, Elizabeth Reed, Sarah Cunningham, and Phoebe Carrai.
