Sarah Stone is drawn to cello and viola da gamba through a curiosity in the cultural history of the music she plays and how it intersects with the stories we tell today. She performs with Apollo’s Fire, Tafelmusik, the Sebastians, Gallery Concerts, True Concord, the Staunton Music Festival, Bach Charlotte, and the Trinity Baroque Orchestra. At home in New York City, Sarah is Executive Director of Repast Baroque, an ensemble that finds new contexts for early music through storytelling and multimedia, including silent film and visual art. Sarah is also the Artistic Director of Bitterroot Baroque, a community baroque orchestra in Hamilton, Montana, which helps bring in period ensembles and musicians to perform, coach, and lead workshops with local musicians. Through a Circuit Rider Grant from the Viola da Gamba Society of America, she started viol playdates in Western Montana, helping local musicians get started on viol and hosting regular consort reading sessions. Sarah holds Master's degrees from the Juilliard School and San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and a Bachelor's from Rice University. She loves gardening, animation, long walks, deep-dives into digitized collections, and her cats Nyx and Erebus.
