About Sarah Hicks
Sarah Hatsuko Hicks is the first woman to hold a titled conductor post in the Minnesota Orchestra's history.
Born in Tokyo and raised in Honolulu, Sarah Hatsuko Hicks has garnered national and international acclaim for her versatile and vibrant musicianship. Through the 2006-07 season she will also serve as associate conductor of the Richmond Symphony and lead conductor for that ensemble's Symphony Pops series and the Kicked Back Classics series. A cover conductor for the National Symphony Orchestra since 2003, she has been a regular guest conductor for its family concerts, summer presentations and Millennium Stage performances.
She has collaborated with numerous soloists, including Nigel Kennedy, Hilary Hahn and Dimitri Sitkovetsky, and she has acted as assistant conductor to such luminaries as James Levine, Zubin Mehta, Yuri Temirkanov and Neville Marriner. Hicks was previously assistant conductor of the Reading Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Singers (the chorus of the Philadelphia Orchestra), which she has led in radio broadcasts heard nationwide on National Public Radio. She has also served as music director of the Hawaii Symphony, an ensemble she founded in 1991 and led for five seasons. Hicks has guest conducted both in the United States and abroad, leading such ensembles as the Silesian Philharmonic in Poland, the Tokyo Philharmonie and the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia.
Hicks received her BA magna cum laude from Harvard University as a composition major; her AIDS Oratorio was premiered at Harvard University in May 1993 and received a second performance at Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum. She holds an artists’ degree in conducting from the Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied with renowned pedagogue Otto-Werner Mueller. After graduation, she continued her association with Curtis as a staff conductor and faculty member from 2000 to 2005.
