Thursday, January 22, 2015, Galileo's Daughters: Music for Copernicus
Midtown Concert Series at St. Bartholomew's Church, 325 Park Avenue (@ 51st St.), NYC
This concert was a scaled-down version of the full multimedia program, with solos and viol consort music from the late 15th and 16th centuries. The concert reflected Copernicus' life and travels through the music from his day, and features such beautiful pieces as the Polish chant from the Middle Ages, Bogurodzica.
December 29, 2014: Sarah was reviewed in The New York Times for her revised portrayal of a 12th century queen in The Play of Daniel (the above photo is from inside page 1 of The New York Times). This wonderful jewel of a production tells the story of Daniel in the Lion's Den and Belshazzar's Feast, with original melodies and text from the "youth of Beauvais" France, originally performed in the 12th century. It is a thoroughly entertaining and enlightening production for all ages!
Sarah's early music ensemble, Galileo's Daughters, spent the weekend of November 1-2, 2014 at Smith College as a part of a short-term project by the college's Kahn Institute. The project's theme was titled "Contested Cosmologies: Our Place in Space" and included such participants as Owen Gingerich, Professor Emeritus at Harvard University of Astronomy and the History of Science. It was a fascinating weekend, and culminated in a performance of "Perpetual Motion: Galileo and His Revolutions". Learn more by visiting Galileo's Daughters' website.
In August, 2014, Sarah offered a recital with organist Jeffrey C. Johnson at the beautiful historic St. Mark's Lutheran Church in downtown San Francisco. Musical selections came from their CD, "Grace in Time", as well as Leonard Bernstein's song cycle "I Hate Music!" and some jazz. Here is a youtube video of their performance of "Gebet" by Hugo Wolf, arrangement by Max Reger.
On Friday, February 7, 2014 at 8 pm, Sarah's early music ensemble, Galileo's Daughters, performed their trans-media program, "Perpetual Motion: Galileo and His Revolutions" at the Fabbri Mansion in New York City. For more information and tickets please visit: salonsanctuaryconcerts.org. A review of the performance is here.
December 2013 News: Notable, full, vivid and genre-busting
Two reviews from December performances: The Washington Post: The singing and playing, under the baton of Elizabeth Young, were notably strong. Sarah Pillow, who played the boys' mother in the first piece and Amanda, the 14-year-old heroine of the second, has a genuinely genre-busting voice, full and vivid.
The New York Times: The singers were adequate to excellent on Friday, the most notable being James Ruff as Daniel, Peter Walker as Belshazzar and Habakkuk, and Sarah Pillow as Belshazzar’s queen and Habakkuk’s angel.
