Sarah Quartel is one of Canada’s most internationally celebrated and widely performed living choral music composers. Her music is programmed globally, and her commissions have premiered in spaces such as Carnegie Hall, Canterbury Cathedral and the famed Church of the Rock in Helsinki. Raised as a choral singer herself, Quartel is inspired by the life-changing relationships that can occur in group singing. Known for her fresh, exciting and chorister-centred approach to music making, Quartel writes in a way that connects singer to singer, ensemble to conductor and performer to audience.
