About the Artist

Sarah Marie Hughes is a performing artist who resides in Maryland. She plays the saxophone, flute, and clarinet and also creates on the guitar and piano. Her improvising vocabulary is influenced by jazz music and contemporary improvisation. Sarah is also a self-taught visual art maker in the mediums of acrylic and watercolor paint and ink drawing. Her works are influenced by Picasso and Kandinsky.

From 2004-2008 Sarah studied classical saxophone performance with Dale Underwood at the University of Maryland and earned a bachelor's degree in music education. She received a master's degree in jazz saxophone performance from the New England Conservatory in Boston where she studied with Jerry Bergonzi, Donny McCaslin, Ran Blake, Anthony Coleman, and Ben Schwendener.

Sarah has performed extensively in various concert settings in venues throughout Washington DC and Baltimore, with occasional concert performances in Philadelphia, NYC, and Chicago. Before studying jazz formally at NEC, she shared the stage with an impressive list of jazz luminaries, including Lee Konitz, Dan Tepfer, Matt Wilson, Michael Formanek, Freddie Redd, Mary Halvorson, and Alison Miller. After graduating from NEC, Sarah continued to have opportunities to share the stage and bills with great improvisers, including Joe Morris, William Parker, Hamid Drake, Daniel Carter, and Fay Victor. In 2015 she traveled to Sweden with Amy K. Bormet's ensemble Ephemera, to participate in their first Women in Jazz Festival.

In 2018 Sarah released her first album, Coy Fish, containing free improvisation and poetry, with herself on alto saxophone and clarinet, Sam Burt on saxophone, Daniel Ostrow on bass, and Nate Scheible on drums. Live performances by the quartet invited audiences to participate in collective improvised drawings and balloon playing. In 2019 Sarah released her second album, The Drag, which included herself on alto and soprano saxophones, flute, and vocals, Sam Burt on bass clarinet, Steve Arnold on bass, and Joseph Leo Arkfeld on moog. The album includes performances of Sarah's graphic scores and improvised singing/reading of her prose. In 2019 Sarah participated in an interdisciplinary collaboration at the D'Clinic Studio Residency in Zalaegerszeg, Hungry which resulted in the creation of a book containing her visual art and stories along with an interactive exhibition of sound, music, and performance art.

Sarah has had two informal exhibitions of her visual art in Baltimore and Washington DC. She has sold several of her pieces and prints to her supporters in Maryland, DC, New York, and Chicago, including one that was purchased by the DC Jazz Festival. Sarah hopes to have more formal exhibitions of her work in the future.
