Sarah is a 7 year old pianist who has quickly developed a love for sharing music with others. She especially enjoys classical pieces, Arabesque being her favorite, she often hums it while brushing her teeth or waiting for pancakes to be ready.
Sarah’s love of piano grew from watching her two older brothers play. She admired how dedicated they were to practicing, and she wanted to follow in their footsteps. At first, she could barely reach the keys, but she proudly announced that if her brothers could play, then she would too. Within weeks she was picking out little melodies by ear, and now she practices with the same determination she once watched in them.
Watch Sarah Elois Quesnell perform Arabesque by Friedrich Burgmüller on the piano for the 2025 Autumn Music Competition as part of the Charleston International Music Competition.
