Sara Garrard

Music composed, arranged, directed/conducted and performed, as well as a spot of acting.  Or both.

My instruments are piano and oboe, also singing and I have played the tambourine in a couple things.

 

Some Reviews

"... the spooky background piano score (written and performed by Sara Garrard) was wonderful and got the atmosphere and humour of a radio play from the era just right." Guide to Bristol (The Graveyard Slot)

"Sara Garrard’s music added an intensity and beauty to the script and production giving a sense of mystery and uneasiness to the otherwise comedic performance." Bristol Theatre Review (The Graveyard Slot)

"The opening song is not only beautifully harmonised but also creates a haunting atmosphere..." EdFringe Review (Metamorphoses)
