Bio

Sarah Sutton is a globally recognized violist, celebrated for her emotionally charged performances that have enchanted audiences worldwide. Her career has included appearances for luminaries such as Pope John Paul II, Nelson Mandela, and Queen Elizabeth II, and performances at renowned venues like the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London. Sarah’s passion for music extends to chamber collaborations with groups like the Camerata Philadelphia and Carmina Quartet, and orchestral roles with the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Florida Philharmonic Orchestra, Princeton Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Opera Philadelphia and more.

Hailing from England, Sarah studied with Lord Yehudi Menuhin at the Yehudi Menuhin School of Music and the International Menuhin Music Academy before further studies at Indiana University. Now based in Philadelphia, Sarah combines her musical pursuits with a love for reading and gardening, although Buckingham Palace-worthy gardens remain an elusive dream.

Beyond the Pops
