Sarah, living in Newark, has an 80 mile round trip to rehearsals! Fortunately for C.O. she persuaded Ros (cello), Helen (violin) and Ceris (violin), all from her area, to join too, so they share a car and manage to get to most rehearsals.

Sarah has been an estate agent since 1986 and is currently owner and director of St Marks Properties, Newark.

Sarah has been playing violin in C.O. since the New Ross/Dublin tour in 1999. She was brought in to make up numbers but she had "such a fantastic time" that she joined as a regular member. She also plays with Boston Sinfonia, Rutland Sinfonia, a string quartet and an electric quartet (that uses Ceris's electric Bridge Instruments).

Sarah says "I think the distance we travel to play regularly with Charnwood shows what a great, friendly orchestra it is.
I've made loads of good friends who all enjoy getting together musically and socially within the atmosphere generated by C.O."
