Composer, trumpeter, and singer Sarah Wilson’s artistic work while deeply shaped by jazz, stylistically owes as much to avant pop, Afro-Latin grooves and indie rock as the post-bop continuum.
Her original music has toured around the world and nationally at festivals & venues including Willisau Jazz Festival, Switzerland, Monterey Jazz Festival, SFJAZZ, Healdsburg Jazz Festival, Freight & Salvage, Celebrate Brooklyn and Summerstage. She has earned numerous prestigious commissions from venerable foundations such as the Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Center for Cultural Innovation, SF Arts Commission, Fleishhacker Foundation, Zellerbach Foundation, East Bay Community Foundation, InterMusic SF’s Musical Grant Program, and de Young Museum Cultural Encounters Initiative in collaboration with Intersection for the Arts.
