Vocalist Sarah Pillow enjoys a unique career, drawing on her equal expertise in her interpretation of jazz, classical, and early music repertoire. Beginning her career as a jazz singer, Sarah won best vocal solo in a performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival. She went on to study classical singing at Oberlin Conservatory, earning a Bachelor of Music degree. Since moving to New York City from her native California, Sarah has toured the United States and Canada with her jazz quartet, her crossover project, Nuove Musiche, and her early music ensemble, Galileo's Daughters. She has performed as both chorister and soloist on all the great stages in New York City, including Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Her performances in operatic works have resulted in critical praise, with “a genuinely genre-busting voice, full and vivid” by The Washington Post in modern operas by Gisle Kverndokk; and “splendid” and “radiating calm” by The New York Times for her portrayal of the Queen in the early 13th-century “Play of Daniel” at the Cloisters and Trinity Wall Street Church. In addition to her own projects, Sarah enjoys appearing with early music ensembles Ayreheart and The Baltimore Consort as a guest performer. Her most recent recording, with composer and percussionist Marc Wagnon titled "Interesting Times", is available on Buckyball Records and via download and streaming on iTunes, Spotify and Google Play.

From Marc Wagnon’s new album “Interesting Times”.

This song is dedicated to the great Buckminster Fuller, engineer, architect, inventor and visionary who was one of the first to understand that our planet's resources are finite and that it is time to for the human race to learn how to manage it. He came up with the name Spaceship Earth to emphasize that message.
