Sarah Elert

Originally from Annapolis, Maryland, Sarah began studying violin at age five, and made her solo debut with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at age seventeen. Sarah holds a BM from the University of Colorado Boulder under the tutelage of Harumi Rhodes, a MM from Boston University under Bayla Keyes, and recently received an Artist Diploma in Orchestral Studies through the San Francisco Academy Orchestra. She currently holds positions as principal second violinist of the Vallejo Symphony and section violin in the Modesto and Berkeley Symphonies, and frequently performs with other groups throughout the bay area. When not performing, Sarah enjoys knitting increasingly long scarves, practicing latte art, and reading chamber music with friends.
