Sarah fuses blues, jazz, electronic music, meditation music, pop and improvisation into an exciting blend that has been described as “an improvisational playground”, “mesmerizing”, and “ethereal”. She is an artist for Altus Flutes, Heart Dance Records and Earthquaker Devices. Sarah Jane has been a university professor/lecturer, guest lecturer, and performer in schools and universities around North America for over twenty years.
Sarah Jane continues to perform, compose and record actively as a soloist and with various groups around the world. She holds a Master’s of Music in Flute Performance from the University of New Mexico, and a Bachelor’s of Music Education from Eastern Kentucky University. Sarah Jane’s teachers include Alexa Still, Valerie Potter, Adam Kuenzel, Richard Bromley and Toshio Takahashi.
Andrea’s diverse work is at the intersection of performance art, sound therapy, and sound meditation. Deeply inspired by nature, Andrea explores the relationship between music and the natural world. Her mission offers restorative methods to connect to nature through deep listening. Merging knowledge of Hindustani classical raag systems, indigenous Meso-American tradition, and contemporary Western classical training, her performances combine processed harp, ambient effects, and midi-plant generated sounds.
Andrea is the founder of Mind Body Music Center based in Austin, TX. She offers private music therapy sessions, group classes, training, and community sound meditations.
