Sarah Hogan Kaiser has been a member of the St. Louis Symphony since 2004. Prior to that, she performed in the New World Symphony, and she received her Bachelor of Music from Indiana University and her Master of Music from Rice University.
Sarah and I shared a stand in the Spoleto USA Orchestra many years ago, and it was great to reconnect and talk about her career, life in the St. Louis Symphony, and the challenges of take an audition in your own orchestra after many years of not auditioning. Enjoy!
