Canadian pianist Sarah Hagen’s extensive touring has taken her across Canada, to Sweden, Denmark, France, Germany, and Italy, and twice to New York City’s Carnegie Hall. She has been awarded Artist of the Year by both Ontario Contact (2017) and the BC Touring Council (2015) and mentioned by The Guardian (Charlottetown) as the Best Classical Performance of 2014. Her interpretations have been described as "outstandingly inventive" [University of Waterloo Gazette], and as being” played flawlessly” [Review- Vancouver].

In 2021 Sarah released her fourth album, J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations, which was heralded by Whole Note Magazine as “Something to absolutely die for” and won two 2022 Music PEI awards for Instrumental Recording of the Year and Album Art of the Year. Her previous albums include Women of Note, featuring two female composers of the 19th century, which won the 2021 Music PEI Instrumental Recording of the Year; Devoted: Music of Robert & Clara Schumann with violinist Martin Chalifour, concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic; and Glass House Dancing, which was nominated for Classical Recording of the Year at the 2009 Western Canadian Music Awards.

Sarah was asked recently how she would describe herself. “What describes me, in 10 words or less?”

“Well ... to be honest, I take my whiskey neat.”

Sarah has frequently been featured on CBC radio.

Tom Allen of CBC notoriety ushers in 2026 on February 24 with his presentation of J.S. Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow. Definitely unique, Tom tells a story of Bach’s early years in Tom’s own inimitable way, and he may be accompanied by a trio, or a quartet of musicians, depending on how he feels. And he may perform on the trombone as well to add a different flavour to the master’s brew. Whatever your musical taste(s), this will be Bach as you may have never heard him.
