Soprano Sarah Bach is possessed with a voice of "sparkling tone", "very fine legato" and "excellent coloratura technique" and is said to "communicate beautifully and convincingly". She has sung internationally appearing throughout England, Wales and British Columbia, Canada and in the USA throughout Boston and areas of New England, New Mexico and Southern California. Most recently Miss Bach was featured as the Emerging Artist for Music at Eden's Edge, the North Shore's resident chamber music ensemble performing cantata works of Handel and Vivaldi. She was a semi-finalist for the professional track division of the Boston NATS 2008 Song Festival and a 2008 NATSAA Regional Finalist of New England. In the summers of 2008 and 2009, Miss Bach was named a Stern Fellow for Songfest, an international program for professional pianists and singers held in Malibu, CA and scholarship recipient for the Theatre of Art Song program as part of the Vancouver International Song Institute in Vancouver, BC.

Her repertoire ranges from oratorio and opera to art song, chamber music and new song. Her love for art song is her passion. She premiered composer Elisabeth Mehl Greene's song "Dizia" in 2007 and continues to perform new songs of other composers. Her most recent performance was of composer John Rodney Lister's song cycle "Only the lemon of desire" which was performed at a faculty recital at Greenwood Music Camp in the Pioneer Valley Hill towns of MA. Miss Bach will appear with other NEC faculty for a Memorial Concert for Milton Babbitt in October and perform at Boston University for a faculty artist recital of Rodney Lister's works. Her other upcoming performances include performances with the Arabella Ensemble in the Winter and Spring and a premiere of the "Photograph Cycle" by composer Dr. Elisabeth Mehl Greene in 2012 in the Boston area.

"...the performance of Du by Sarah Bach and Rodney Lister was so well-executed that it generated a certain appeal on a separate plane than that of the structural organization - a phenomenon not uncommon to Babbitt's music." ~ Boston Musical Intelligencer
