About
Sahara is a member of the Chamber Orchestra of New York, and is the co-founder of Duo Kogarashi (Cello+Piano) and Duo Étrange (Cello+Soprano). The latter has their debut album slotted for next year through ATMA Classique, Canada’s most prestigious classical label, with 5 new commissions on the horizon for a debut at Montréal’s famous Salle Bourgie series.
Sahara has been the recipient of many sizeable grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, allowing her to commission dozens of Canadian and American composers. She has been a resident artist at BangOnACan, Yellow Barn, and Pôle Relève through Le Vivier.
As a graduate of the Schulich School of Music at McGill University, (B.A. 2016 / M.M. 2018), she completed her primary studies with Matt Haimovitz, Brian Manker, Ariel Barnes, and Elizabeth Dolin with additional tutelage from Colin Carr, Johannes Moser, Philipe Muller, and Truls Mork.
Sahara’s music has been featured on CBC Radio Canada, Jazziz, V13, and more. Her latest album achieved critical acclaim; with Frederic Cardin from PanM360 saying:
“With 1Q84, we discover a solo artist (von Hattenberger) who navigates contrasts of genre and style with ease, gifted with beautiful musicality, sound and an airy, lithe, highly precise technique..”
Sahara is a member of the Chamber Orchestra of New York
In 2024 she released her first solo album through the label Odd Sounds with collaborative pianist Joanne Kang (from Carnegie Hall’s: “ensemble connect”) as well as acclaimed jazz performers Jim Doxas (drums) and Adrian Vedady (bass), and will feature repertoire by Claude Bolling alongside two new commissions by Grammy-winning composer Remy Le Boeuf and Malcolm Sailor. Her mission as a chamber musician is to bring engaging contemporary music to the forefront.
