"Sarasa materialized out of a friends request for me to play to some of the inmates in Sing Sing prison sometime in 1997. "

Sarasa's Jennifer Morsches is on the cover of this month's Early Music Today featuring  Florilegium - one of Britain’s most outstanding period instrument ensembles. 

We know Jennifer as cellist and Director of Programming at Sarasa...yes, she is the talent behind those beautifully written words on Sarasa's programs. And as Jennifer is taking the lead on our March concert, we wanted to share with you a little more about her.
