Sarah Eide

Pianist, Composer, Conductor and Songwriter with a singular passion for music....

Born December 28, 1987 and raised in Providence, RI, Sarah began her classical training on the piano at five years old. There she began to explore the world of classical music guided by Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven, Khachaturian, and more, but even at a young age, she would also find herself influenced by contemporary music, such as The Beatles, Herbie Hancock, Pink Floyd, and Tori Amos, each offering her a different musical perspective. From an early age she found her own way to gain the musical experiences she desired. Since 9 years old she competed in various state wide piano competitions, and at 14 she was already being given numerous opportunities that would decidedly set the course of her life as a composer and musician. She was the accompanist and musical director to various ensembles and musicals, and would play in numerous venues, from small private parties to large auditoriums and stages, all with the mentoring and guidance of her piano teacher Marie Panosian, graduate of the Moscow Conservatory. Now at Berklee, she finds herself in a diverse musical environment that, along with her solid classical background, has been a support in her fast paced progress into versatility and flexibility. She is constantly given opportunities in composition, conducting and performing. Some highlights would include scoring the films of various independent directors (most notably, “In Medias Res”, feature film of LA based ind. director, Joe Perry), writing music for the lyric sequence, “Fishwife Tales”, (written by esteemed North Shore poet, Jennifer Jean), assistant conducting the Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra, writing music for Kazira LLC’s newest videogame “AdLibs”, and co-founding, leading and organizing Culturehouse, a Boston-based concert series that brings local non-profits and bands together to create community, based on social awareness through music.
