Korean-American cellist Sarah Song prides herself on the pursuit of multiplicities in her artistic identity. Combining her passions for chamber music and collaboration, scholarly and pedagogical work, music accessibility and curatorial projects, her work reaches audiences in university lecture halls, community centers, and major concert venues.
Improvisation continues to be one of the most intimate forms of sharing her musical practice and identity.
As a Korean-American artist, Sarah believes improvisation to be a provocative storytelling medium—one that can rename or repeat narratives from familial history.
Whether performing in an improvisation duo or as the soloist of the New Amsterdam Symphony Orchestra, Sarah sees her diverse musical practices as her defining advantage in cultivating impactful artistic projects and collaborations.
New York “Sori” was a protest concert curated by Song in response to the AAPI hate crimes of the COVID pandemic. Funded by the Baisley Powell Elebash Fund from the CUNY Graduate Center, Song commissioned “Capillary Waves” by Yike Zhang.
Cello is my first love but I do love sharing my hobbies on Instagram
