Sarah Viens is Principal Trumpet of the Newport Symphony and plays regularly with the Eugene Symphony, Corvallis Symphony Orchestra, and Oregon Brass Quintet. Sarah has also performed with the Oregon Bach Festival Orchestra under conductor Helmuth Rilling. A diverse performer, Sarah plays throughout the region in a variety of genres and also commissions and premiers new works for ensembles such as the Eugene Contemporary Chamber Ensemble (ECCE) and BrassWindows, an innovative brass quintet which Sarah founded in 2007. Sarah currently holds the position of Graduate Teaching Fellow in Trumpet at the University of Oregon where she is working on her Doctorate in Musical Arts with a supporting area in Arts Administration. As an administrator, she co-curates Sound-Bytes, a popular, if slightly bizarre, contemporary music series in Eugene.
