Welcome to our new Sinfonia Conductor!

The Great Falls Symphony Association is pleased to welcome Sarah Schaeffer as the new conductor of our Youth Orchestra Program's Sinfonia ensemble.

Originally from Centennial, Colorado, Sarah Schaeffer graduated from Bethany College in 2013 with her Bachelor of Music Education degree. While at Bethany, she studied the viola with Ann Samuelson, Joey Menninga and Rachel Stultz and conducting with Dr. Richard Koshgarian. After teaching in Colorado for three years, she moved to Great Falls to teach with the Great Falls Public Schools. She performs with the Great Falls Symphony and teaches privately. In her spare time she enjoys skiing and paddleboarding.

We are excited to have Sarah work with our Sinfonia students!!
