An exceptional classical pianist, collaborator, visual artist, comedian, Sarah Hagen is a unique musician on a mission to demystify classical music with a performance style all her own, perhaps inspired as much by Victor Borge as Glenn Gould.

Growing up on Vancouver Island, Sarah took to the piano at an early age and studied widely across Canada. Her busy professional career in North America and Europe as soloist and collaborator has yielded 4 albums and numerous awards. Sarah’s most recent album J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations, has been heralded by Whole Note Magazine as “something to absolutely die for” and won two 2022 Music PEI awards for Instrumental Recording of the Year and Album Art of the Year.

Sarah’s live performances invite audiences into her world of stories and music by presenting a variety of programs such as the Goldberg Variations (her own acclaimed interpretation), Wonder Women! (forgotten women composers) and “Perk up, Pianist!”(the trials and joys of a touring musician).

At the MERA Schoolhouse on February 15, the day after Valentine’s Day, Sarah will present her most recent program: “Lovesick!”, a concert exploring romance and heartbreak in classical music. Through storytelling and music by Satie, Bach, Piazzolla and others, Sarah delves into the love stories (good and bad!) of some of her favourite composers.
