She is a founding member of two busy and diverse chamber groups which perform across the UK and beyond. Each of the ensembles also has its own website - just click on the links below for more information.

The Ardeton Ensemble

A Versatile and Vibrant Ensemble

The Ardeton Ensemble is a professional chamber ensemble performing across the UK. The Ensemble has performed as a string trio, oboe quartet, piano quintet, and clarinet quintet, although most recently it has been performing in its core line-up as a string quartet.

The Ardeton Ensemble has an impressive array of past concerts behind it, including performances at the Ipswich 'Pulse' Fringe, repeat performances at the Oakham Festival, and a tour to Risor in Norway.

The Ensemble believes passionately that in order to bring a performance to life you have to engage with the audience, whether this is talking between pieces or meeting the audience in the bar afterwards! Sarah has been playing violin in the Ardeton Ensemble for over 4 years, and has also taken part in Educational Workshops with the group on performance and composition for GCSE students.  

The Ardeton String Quartet

String Quartet in Bristol and Bath

The Ardeton String Quartet in Bristol and Bath is the perfect musical accompaniment to any occasion. The Quartet performs at in excess of 50 events each year, including product launches, company conferences, banquets, balls, charity events and weddings. The Ardeton Quartet has one of the most eclectic repertoires of any string quartet, ranging from classical to pop, showtunes to classic rock.

Sarah has been performing with the Ardeton String Quartet across South Wales and the South West for over 6 years. As well as being the leader of the group, she is also the administrator, email replyer, telephone answerer, and chief 'getter of drinks' at gigs!
