New Year´s News
I hope the New Year has started well for you all! Here 2026 has been busy already: after the Berlin Philharmonic New Year´s Eve concert it was off to Doha with the Sarahbanda to perform “Mozart y Mambo” with the Qatar Philharmonic conducted by my brother Alastair Willis. A fantastic week! Then back to Berlin for a Berlin Phil Horns concert, Mahler 8, Dvorak 9…it has been intense but fun.
I will be in Latin America in February, first in Cuba for another project with the Havana Orchestra Academy then Medellín, Colombia with the Iberacademy and finishing up in Panama. Am looking forward to seeing my friends and students there and also getting away from the European winter! All the best to you all, Sarah 📯

Thank you all 🙏❤️🇶🇦
