Sarah Kirsch, Soprano A capable musician with a penchant for adventurous repertoire, Sarah Kirsch has dedicated herself and her instrument to the creation and performance of music and the rejuvenation of classical style.

More recently, she sang another world premiere performance as Jokmeam in Isaiah Bell’s Oholibah and Her Lovers and as a featured recitalist at British Columbia’s 150th Provincial Anniversary Celebrations in Victoria. Since moving to Winnipeg, Sarah earned a spot among the winners of the 2009 Orville J Derraugh Memorial Scholarship and was awarded the University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship to begin working towards a Master of Music Performance this Fall with the Marcel A.
