Sarasa
Chamber Music Ensemble

Dedicated to making music accessible to wider audiences


Sarasa concluded its season this year with a concert at the Frick Collection in New York City on May 1. (L-R) Michael Chance, Elizabeth Blumenstock, Hilary Walther Cumming, Maggie Cole, Jennifer Stirling, Timothy Merton, and Christina Day Martinson.

Sarasa's guiding mission is to enrich the lives of the broadest possible community, especially those who do not have easy access to live chamber music.

Every public concert is linked with an outreach concert in facilities such as homeless shelters, prisons, hospitals, and mental health centers.

Who We Are

Sarasa has received critical acclaim for its musical interpretations and is hailed for its "great clarity" and "irresistible energy". Drawing on a pool of more than forty world-class musicians from the United States, Europe, and Canada, the ensemble varies according to the particular program of each of its concerts.

The non-profit ensemble has toured throughout New England and in Cuba, Ireland, and India, and produces The Sarasa Chamber Music Series (in Cambridge and Concord, Massachusetts).
