Sarah began her musical life on recorder learning from Lynton Rivers. What started as a precursor to learning oboe remains an important part of Sarah's musical interests. Sarah studied with Jiri Tancibudek for a B Mus performance degree at the Elder Conservatorium. During this time Sarah remained committed to early music forming Ensemble Chanterelle. Following her degree, Sarah continued her oboe studies with Barry Davis at the Queensland Conservatorium. Sarah played Principal Oboe in the 1990's with the Queensland Philharmonic Orchestra until its amalgamation in 2000 with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, where she now holds the Associate Principal position. Sarah has toured Canada and the USA, and given performances across several Australian states with the Southern Cross Soloists. Sarah has collaborated with the Queensland Early Music group, the Badinerie Players and more recently with Austral Harmony.
