Sarah Neufeld is an exploratory violinist and composer from Montreal, Canada. Best known as a member of Arcade Fire and contemporary ensemble Bell Orchestre, she has recently been making waves via her open-minded collaboration with saxophonist Colin Stetson and two solo albums of spellbinding, widescreen music -  2013's Hero Brother (Constellation) and new breathtaking release The Ridge (Paper Bag Records).

She will be touring Europe this Autumn as a duo with percussionist Stefan Schneider.

"Primarily made up of longer, grandiose songs that follow the whimsical sound of Neufeld’s violin and calming voice, The Ridge balances a darker tone with a breathtaking feeling." - Stereogum

"it is crafted with care and precision and will hopefully open the door for many to the world of instrumental, abstract orchestrated composition… strikingly gorgeous and textural " - Under The Radar

"Neufeld’s focused, restless recordings invite the listener to share in the intensity of her ritual as a performer, creating a necessary and refreshing air of intimacy." - Pitchfork

"a gorgeous album from start to finish, and it's impressive how captivating it is for something that's often so minimal." - Brooklyn Vegan
