Biography


Sarah is a freelance arts journalist, critic and writer for a number of national newspapers and magazines. She writes on Classical Music for The Times, including weekly Classical CD reviews, and is Scottish theatre critic for The Independent. She drinks a lot of tea.

When not otherwise engaged with the kettle, Sarah works freelance as a consultant and advisor, most recently as a subject specialist in Classical Music, Archaeology and Architecture for the new Chambers Biographical Dictionary. She also appears regularly on the radio talking about the arts.

Sarah recently began working as a freelance producer and writer, having first stumbled into TV when asked to interview some confused ballet students (in French) for the Arte TV series, Un Jour Je Serai Danseuse. She is, nonetheless, still allowed to visit France.

Her academic claim to fame is as the ‘world expert’ on the sculptures of the reredos of the chantry chapel of Henry V in Westminster Abbey, a field so minutely specialist that no-one has ever asked her about it. She lives with her lovely husband in a tiny flat in one of Europe’s finest cities. She is currently writing her first book.
