Programs & Services Manager

Sarah comes to Choral Canada from a diverse career background, primarily focused on the arts and agricultural sectors. She learned about the power of connection through music while singing in choir as a youth, and that was reinforced during her involvement with Alberta’s Kokopelli Choir Association as a volunteer and later as Choir Manager. She is excited to bring her creativity and marketing, communications and project planning skills to Choral Canada.
