Our 2011 Gala will feature the music of Sarah Slean.

Over the course of her 13 year career Sarah Slean has made seven albums, starred in two short films and a movie musical, published two volumes of poetry, held exhibitions of her paintings, written two string quartets and shared the stage with four of the country's leading orchestras. During that time she was nominated for three Junos (Best New Artist and Best Adult Alternative Album twice), two Geminis, and her records have been released in over 10 countries world-wide. The release of 2004's "Day One" heralded the beginning of a promising career in France, garnering national radio play on major rock stations, several key festival slots and an appearance on the hit television show "Taratata". Sarah's music has also been featured on both big and small screens (Dawson's Creek, Felicity, Party of Five). Her last album full length studio album The Baroness, debuted at #1 on Itunes in Canada and spawned three national tours. An EP of its out takes entitled The Baroness Redecorates showcases her remarkable talent as a string arranger, which is an aspect of her craft that Slean continues to develop in projects like The Art of Time Ensemble and her upcoming double album recording "Land & Sea".

Sarah has recently completed  a degree in music and philosophy at the University of Toronto.
