Sarah Lianne Lewis (born 1988) is a Welsh composer.
She was commissioned by Heidelberg Music Festival in 2016 and her piece, "I Dared Say It To The Sky", was premiered by soprano, Sarah Maria Sun, and percussionist, Johannes Fischer.[1]
Her piece, "Is there no seeker of dreams that were?", was premiered by BBC National Orchestra of Wales in 2016. Its title is inspired by Cale Young Rice’s poem ‘New Dreams for Old’[2] and was subsequently performed again by the orchestra in 2018, conducted by Jac van Steen at Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff,[3] and again in 2019 as part of the orchestra's 'BBC Hoddinott Hall @ 10' celebrations, conducted by Holly Mathieson.[4]
In 2018 Lewis was awarded the George Butterworth prize for her work "Blossoms in bloom are also falling blossoms" which was composed through Sound and Music’s Embedded: Composer's Kitchen project with Canadian string quartet Quatuor Bozzini[5]
In 2020, she became the first Composer Affiliate with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.[6]
