Acclaimed classical pianist and undeniable comedic talent, Sarah Hagen brings her hit show Perk Up, Pianist! to Chamberfest. Sarah has transformed her award-winning role as “concert pianist” into a stand-up, or rather, sit-down comedy. Pairing anecdotes from the road with some of her favourite pieces by Chopin, Debussy, and Liszt, Sarah takes audiences deep inside the world of a classical musician with sharply funny, refreshingly candid stories from life on—and off—the concert stage. Part concert, part comedy, all charm, “Perk up pianist!” has been described as “one of the best hours I’ve ever spent at the Fringe” [The Coast, Halifax].
