Raab & Böhm signs Sarah McElravy for General Management

Described as “a consummate musician” (Naples Daily News) with “a divine sound... exquisitely sculpted” (The Prague Post), Canadian violist Sarah McElravy leads an exceptional and multifaceted career as a chamber musician, soloist and pedagogue.

As a soloist, McElravy has appeared with major orchestras across the globe. Highlights of recent seasons include the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Kammerorchester des Symphonieorchesters des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Wiener Kammerorchester, Prague Philharmonia, Warsaw Philharmonic, Helsinki Philharmonic, Trondheim Symphony Orchestra and Moscow Philharmonic, among many others.

The current season saw her perform the Walton Viola Concerto with the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie under Jonathan Bloxham and the Sofia Philharmonic under Daniel Geiss. She made her debut at the Beethoven Easter Festival in Warsaw, performing Britten’s “Lachrymae”, and performed a series of double concertos with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Turku Philharmonic Orchestra alongside her duo partner and husband, the violinist and conductor Julian Rachlin.

Sarah McElravy regularly performs in a quartet with Julian Rachlin, Boris Brovtsyn and Eckart Runge, as well as with other internationally recognised artists such as Vilde Frang, Janine Jansen, Mischa Maisky, Denis Kozhukhin and Itamar Golan. As a founding member of the award-winning Linden String Quartet (2009-2014), hailed as “polished, radiant and incisive” (The Strad), she toured extensively throughout North America and Europe.

Future engagements include important re-invitations as a soloist, extensive chamber music projects and a solo album.
