Originally from Maryland, Sarah Dahlin cultivated her passion for music inspired by her family’s deep roots in public school music education. Her love for orchestral performance was ignited during her participation in Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring at the Interlochen Arts Camp in 2018. In 2020, Sarah joined the Powerhouse Brass Quintet in Germantown, MD, where the ensemble found innovative ways to rehearse despite the challenges posed by COVID-19. This experience solidified her decision to pursue a degree in music performance. 

Sarah is currently working toward her bachelor's degree in Horn Performance at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, studying under the esteemed Professor Jeff Nelsen. In addition to her studies, she has taken on the role of recital stage technician, where she enjoys observing and learning from the backstage practices of her fellow performers, further enriching her understanding of the art. 

Sarah is currently a senior at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and studies in Jeff Nelsen's horn studio.
