A classical pianist with a wry wit, Sarah Hagen enjoys a rich and diverse concertising life as both soloist and humorist. Her extensive touring has taken her across Canada, to Europe and to the United States, including twice to New York City’s Carnegie Hall.
Highlights of recent seasons include solo sets at Tønder Festival in Denmark, Cambridge Folk Festival, and Mariposa Folk Festival and tours in Sweden, the UK, and throughout the USA. She was selected by the National Arts Centre to perform solo at Expo Osaka in 2025.

Sarah’s interpretations have been described as
“outstandingly inventive” \[University of Waterloo Gazette\], “played flawlessly” \[Review Vancouver\]. Sarah has released four albums.
Her most recent recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations was described by Whole Note magazine as “something to absolutely die for” and was the recipient of two Music PEI awards and two
ECMA nominations. To accompany the recording, Sarah created 32 original pieces of artwork to reflect the spirit of each movement.

The exhibit, entitled “Oneness,” explores the complex and surprising
wonders of a collective global isolation. Sarah has been awarded Artist of the Year by Ontario Contact and the BC Touring Council and recognised for Achievement in Classical Music by Music PEI.
