Sarah Grace Graves
composer and vocal performer
Sarah Grace Graves is a singer and composer working at the intersection between recital and ritual.

From 2020-2022 she studied voice with Nicholas Isherwood while conducting an artistic residency at the Fondation des États-Unis on interdisciplinary collaboration with voice. In summer 2023, thanks to the Michiko Hirayama Scholarship, she was singer-in-residence at the Fondazione Isabella Scelsi in Rome. In 2022, she joined the PhD program in composition at the University of California, Berkeley.

An avid collaborator, she has duo projects with Eda Er, Virginia Guidi, and Julie Zhu and has appeared with line upon line, collective lovemusic, Del Sol Quartet, Carol Robinson, Volti, and the Italian vocal ensemble Fragmente. She is an alumna of the Voix Nouvelles Academy at Royaumont and the Harriet Hale Woolley Scholarship at the Fondation des États-Unis.

In addition to her work as a singer and composer of contemporary music, she is also active as a liturgical singer and has sung regularly at Grace Cathedral, St. Luke's Episcopal Church (San Francisco, CA, USA), the American Cathedral (Paris, FR), and Christ Church Cathedral (Houston, TX, USA).
