Sarah Silverman
In 2010 Sarah made her Broadway debut as a pianist for the Tony Award winning show "In The Heights". She was also a pianist for Disney's "Mary Poppins" until its closing in March 2013.
Currently Sarah performs primarily as a jazz vocalist. Drawn to intimate performances, Sarah often sings duo with Bruce Barth. Recently, their inspired collaborations have led to the recording of her self-titled debut album. The album, 'Sarah', marks a dramatic shift away from her background as a classical pianist, but it is also a natural evolution for a performer drawn to different musical styles, improvisation and the spirit of distinctive collaboration. The first track on 'Sarah' is entirely improvised and the last track is a classical piano piece by Edvard Grieg for which she wrote lyrics. The album was released on July 23, 2013 with a celebratory concert at Cornelia Street Cafe, Greenwich Village, NY
