In my discussion with Bay Area pianist, musical activist and community organizer Sarah Cahill, we talk visioning, dream journals, when the music is not about you, the purpose of LinkedIn, and Sarah's project, The Future is Female.

Sarah Cahill is a prolific pianist who has commissioned, premiered, and recorded numerous compositions for solo piano. Cahill founded and co-organizes the annual Garden of Memory event at Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland, CA (my favorite event of all time -- sorry! had to interject!!). Before the pandemic, she also curated a monthly series of new music concerts at the Berkeley Art Museum and before that at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. Cahill is faculty at the San Francisco Conservatory, and host of the radio show Revolutions Per Minute on KALW in San Francisco. She’s had works dedicated to her by the likes of John Adams, Terry Riley, and Pauline Oliveros, and has premiered pieces by Lou Harrison, Julia Wolfe, George Lewis, and more, more, more.
