As a creative director, I have been lucky to have worked with some amazingly talented people over the years. Sarah is right up there amongst the best. A great collaborator with real energy and a bag of ideas. I had a reference track I thought might be in the right direction. She understood where I was coming from, but the music she created was so much more interesting and better by far. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah, she doesn’t do what you might expect, she does ‘surprise’. I hope to work with Sarah again.

I commissioned talented composer, Sarah Llewellyn, to bring her inspiring musical magic to my homage to the vivid visual world of Fellini and Hollywood in 1960s Rome. Sarah created an engaging and timeless soundtrack perfectly devised and crafted for the film’s theme.

Sarah’s music not only demonstrates her creativity but also gives the show a truly unique atmosphere. Her commitment and involvement are highly appreciated by the whole team, making the process a wonderfully enjoyable journey for us all

Dominic Cheung - Artistic Director Chung Ying Theatre Co

I have worked with a number of extremely talented composers, few of whom understand the peculiarities of composing for live theatre as well as Sarah. She is a gifted musician and a perceptive, problem-solving collaborator who truly gets it.

Her work on The Scarlet Pimpernel, A Tale of Two Cities, Much Ado, Caravan, and The Fall of Man demonstrates an impressive range of stylistic shifts. Her underscoring beautifully supports the images on stage, often introducing unexpected melodic elements that throw the content into sharp relief. She is infinitely inventive and a wonderful colleague.

Jonathan Holloway - Writer and Director

Sarah is such a versatile composer, as comfortable in the western classical tradition as with folk music or modern production techniques. She created both monumental music to underscore fireworks, delicate soundscapes to set tone and atmosphere, and rumbustious dance music. A brilliant person to have on your team.

Bill Palmer - Artistic Director - Avanti Display

I've worked with Sarah in various outdoor settings, from a large-scale outdoor spectacle, to a walkabout street show and most recently a light and sound installation, New Home Makers. Her musical style is versatile, sophisticated and always complimentary to the artistic vision.
It is a pleasure to collaborate with Sarah. Apart from being very organised and an excellent communicator, Sarah commits to equal opportunities and to promoting an environment of mutual respect within the team. Sarah has built a great level of trust and rapport with our professional artists with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism.

Joyce Ngu Lee - Director

I had the great good fortune to work with Sarah on my BBC Radio 4 production of Charles Dickens’ ghost story, The Signalman. Her music was quite wonderful in its range: its ability to conjure period (and to subvert it when needed); to quickly establish and change mood and atmosphere; to tell and develop story; to be subtle when needed, as well as bold and intelligent; to be always melodic, distinctive and memorable; and more besides. Sarah is fabulously talented, and great to collaborate with. I recommend her highly.

Andy Jordan, Director

I’ve worked with Sarah on two highly sensitive projects, both involving the interviews of real women sharing highly charged emotional experiences. In both cases Sarah was able to draw together a narrative that illuminated the unique, rich voices of these women and transformed them from antidote into art. Her sound scapes both elevate precious material and present it to audiences in a way that bridges time and difference, bringing listener and content together in sympathy, intelligence and passion.
A remarkable talent
