Sarah Hirsch, Pianist

Sarah Hirsch graduated in 2009 from Yale University with a B.A. in music. While at Yale, she studied classical piano with Ingeborg Schimmer and musical theatre composition with Joseph Thalken, Josh Rosenblum, Tina Landau, Michael Korie, and Andrew Gerle. She accompanied undergraduate musical theatre classes and Yale Drama School voice classes and music-directed several musicals. An avid musical theatre composer, Sarah presented staged readings of several original musicals at Yale: Music-Match (a romantic comedy), Usher (based on Edgar Allan Poe's “The Fall of the House of Usher”), and Secret Passages (a drama based on the death of one of her friends during high school). Usher went on to receive a full performance at Yale, and was then performed at the 2008 New York International Fringe Festival, where it was named “Outstanding Musical.” Sarah is currently co-writing a musical thriller, And Nothing But The Truth, that she plans to direct at Yale this February.
