Biography

Multi-national musician Sarah Marine is currently serving as principal flute of the Lebanese National Philharmonic Orchestra.

Sarah has performed with UK orchestras such as the Philharmonia Orchestra, the London Classical Orchestra, the Covent Garden Chamber Orchestra, the Horizon Orchestra and often with the Ernest Read Symphony Orchestra.
Aside from the orchestra, Sarah loves chamber music and the many expressive possibilities that it offers. While at university, she organized tours for her flute, violin, viola and cello ensemble and commissioned new pieces. More recently, Sarah has used her interest for poetry to rethink a chamber music programme, including poetry, philosophy and song. The result is "The Prophet" and more details can be found under this tab.
Alongside performing, Sarah is a dedicated teacher. During her decade living in London, she has taught for various institutions, including at the Junior Royal Academy of Music alongside her colleague and past teacher Anna Pope. Sarah has taught every level, whether it's inspiring a young child's gentle learning of music or preparing a mature student for college auditions.
Overall, Sarah is very grateful for support from the Countess of Munster Musical Trust, both during her studies at the Academy and in acquiring her gold Muramatsu flute.
