Sarah’s ongoing collaborations include Chaski Quartet, whose summer tours focus on bringing diverse string quartet music to incarcerated individuals in multiple Colorado Department of Corrections facilities, as well as public concerts across Colorado and New Mexico. Sarah can be heard in performances with the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra, Sphere Ensemble, Omaha Symphony, and with Duo Anthracite. Sarah served as acting Concertmaster / Principal Second Violin with the West Texas Symphony for four seasons, was a member of the Permian Basin String Quartet, and guest concertmaster of the Bloomington and Lafayette Symphony Orchestras and the Bach Series at Duke University. Sarah is the director of the Bloomington Early Music Immersion (BEMI), a unique, immersive middle-school-aged historical performance experience offered to modern string players without tuition cost, through the Bloomington Early Music Festival. She directs Tonos del Sur: a historically-informed ensemble which explores the intersection of European music with the colonization of the Americas, whose aim is to bring music of lesser-known, anonymous, and indigenous composers, and music in indigenous languages to today’s audiences. Tonos recently presented a program centered around modern premieres of Chilean villancicos from the Catedral Metropolitana archive in Santiago, Chile, heard for the first time since the 1780s, at the University of Illinois Chicago’s Latin American Music Festival, and in the greater Midwest area. Other recent collaborations include the modern premieres of twelve villancicos from the Sanchez Garza repertory in Mexico City, out of some 400 liturgical manuscripts played by Santisima Trinidad Convent nuns in Puebla, Mexico, and programs centered around local depictions of the Virgin Mary, in the Bloomington and Berkeley Early Music Festivals and across the Midwest. Sarah holds a Doctor of Music degree from Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music; her doctoral research focuses on the music of Santiago Billoni, chapelmaster at the Durango Cathedral, Mexico, from 1749-1756. Sarah has presented guest lectures at EAFIT in Medellín, Colombia, the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and at Indiana University, and she teaches violin students both locally and across the world, including in Colombia and at Kabarak University in Kenya. She performs regularly with her husband, violinist Alejandro Gómez Guillén both in string quartets and as Duo Anthracite. Sarah is an ultra-marathon runner and always looks forward to seeing where her running shoes take her! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607a1a211ed9a63597728399/1622600685369-AR0FKOVPSGVDDJ0FH2BG/IMG_6877.jpeg The Players - Han Dewan Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Currently serving as Omaha Symphony’s assistant conductor and music director of Sphere Ensemble, he recently completed a seven season tenure as artistic director and conductor of Bloomington Symphony Orchestra. Former associate conductor of Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, he also served as a Freeman Fellow in Conducting with Chicago Sinfonietta, associate conductor of Boulder Symphony, music director of Cantabile, acting concertmaster/principal second violin of West Texas Symphony, and violinist of the Permian Basin. In addition to his full schedule with Omaha Symphony, including as an artistic leader of its robust education programs, recent activities include serving as cover conductor for the symphonies of Indianapolis, Fort Worth, Dallas, and appearances with Tulsa’s Signature Symphony, Orquesta Filarmónica de Bogotá, West Texas Symphony, SingFest Hong Kong, Bogotá’s Javeriana University, Bloomington Bach Cantata Project, Midland Festival Ballet, the Oregon Bach Festival, Bloomington Early Music Festival, Tonos del Sur, Weimarer Bachkantaten Akademie, Junges Stuttgarter Bach Ensemble, ¡Canta, Bogotá Canta!, Santander Choral Festival, Cabrillo Festival, Tonos del Sur at Berkeley Festival, and Permian Basin Opera.

Alejandro had a rich musical upbringing as a chorister and violinist in his native Colombia. He pursued a BM in violin performance from Texas Christian University and MM degrees in conducting and violin performance from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He holds a DMA in orchestral conducting from the same institution, and his doctoral research includes a critical edition of Colombian composer Jorge Pinzón’s violin concerto, and a guide using selected dances from Bach’s orchestral suites in their original form for developing orchestras through a historically informed approach to playing on modern instruments. His mentors include Gary Lewis, Helmuth Rilling, Matthew Halls, and Mei-Ann Chen. When not playing, leading ensembles, or reveling in the music of Bach, Alejandro enjoys singing, trail running, and making music with his wife, violinist Dr. Sarah Elizabeth Cranor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607a1a211ed9a63597728399/1622601078360-XXQBQ2EJKFPVHSY5UQEI/IMG_6844.jpeg The Players - Amy Huzjak Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
