Sarah Class European Representation

After graduating with a BA(Hons) music degree from the Bishop Otter College in Sussex, England Sarah has written extensively for Europe and North America on a number of TV and film projects including the score for the independent feature THE WEEKEND starring Gina Rowlands and Brooke Shields. Shortly after completing The Weekend score, Sarah’s work was noticed by the legendary producer Sir George Martin. Always keen to help rising talent, Sir George took Sarah under the wing of his publishing company George Martin Music.

Touring the UK in July/August, Sarah (on piano/keyboards) performed with the talented 9 piece Senegalese group, SUUF. SUUF was discovered by BBC LATE JUNCTION label and performed its debut concert in February this year for the BBC WORLD SERVICE.

Sarah’s more recent credits include the score for THE COMMANDER, a two part series for LA PLANTE PRODUCTIONS and a new UK NO 1 album - PURE for the Decca artist HAYLEY WESTENRA, produced by Giles Martin. The album includes many of Sarah’s arrangements and also two of her own compositions. It has enjoyed a wonderful reception in Australasia, and has charted No 1 in the UK over 3 months. It was released in the US in March 2004.

In 2001 Warner Classics asked Sarah to provide all the music for their crossover album success, AURORA-CANTAMUS. This album was written by Sarah in its entirety and enjoyed a Top 10 status in the UK for several weeks following its release gaining a Classical BRIT best album nomination.

Sarah's TV credits include numerous film projects for the BBC, LWT, CHANNEL 4, DISNEY, and THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL. Her relationship with the BBC is particularly long standing and is as strong as ever with Sarah composing the titles and score for the flagship DAVID ATTENBOROUGH series, THE STATE OF THE PLANET which features a guest appearance on guitar from MARK KNOPFLER (DIRE STRAITS). Sarah's music for THE STATE OF THE PLANET was nominated for an EMMY award by the production's US partner,
