Praised by The New York Times for her “penetrating musical intelligence”, internationally acclaimed Australian pianist Sarah Grunstein has performed in the United States, Austria, Hungary, Italy, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and her homeland. Reviews have likened her performances to those of Dame Myra Hess, Harold Samuel, and Wanda Landowska.
As a Steinway Artist who trained at the Sydney Conservatorium and The Juilliard School, she is a sought-after pianist and educator inspired by historical performance interpretations. Sarah Grunstein has taught at The Juilliard School as Teaching Fellow, the Manhattan School of Music, the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and the City University of New York.
She returns to Australia to perform at the Melbourne Recital Centre and the Sydney Opera House in 2026.
