SAMS Presents: Sara Ciantar - Concert
September 18, 2010
Sara's music is drawn from her myriad of influences: from learning classical piano while living on a hippie farm and listening to her parents' 70’s folk records; to studying world music at UBC (where she learned to play the accordion, the pipe organ, a Chinese lap-harp kinda thing, Balinese xylophone, and she even sang a little jazz among other things); to being lulled to sleep by the sound of Mexican wedding music in the slums of Tijuana; to the beauty of church and choral traditions; to her humble guitar's yearnings while living in her camper van for her formative years.
Freshman album “How Long” was released in 2006 and Sophomore album “Lines for Keeping” took her on a cross-Canada tour Spring 2009 after it’s April release. She just got back from a quarter world tour playing accordion for a traveling theatre troupe after learning her back wasn’t in the shape needed to join the circus. In the end she's got a story to tell with her ever-changing mood and voice.
