Sarah is also introducing her first solo CD, also entitled Cello Trip. In 2016, she implemented a performance art project, the Arizona Project, in an effort to change pre-conceived notions about classical music by integrating art into the commonplace. During the months of July and August, she played the Bach suites at various locations in Flagstaff in unusual and/or unaesthetic spots: on trash cans, in parking lots, or along roadways. Cello Trip At the culmination of the project, she performed two concerts of Cello Trip. The concerts were well-received, and as a result, she decided to record her first solo CD. She is pleased to present it now as part of the 2017 Arizona Project. CDs will be available at the concert for a special price of $10.
