Sarah Willis: a portrait
Horn player Sarah Willis has been a member of the Berliner Philharmoniker since 2001 and is also known to audiences as a charming and humorous presenter of children’s concerts. She also regularly appears in the Digital Concert Hall as an interviewer of the Philharmoniker’s guest soloists and conductors. In this short film portrait, which also features the musician in excerpts from concerts, Willis explains how she decided on the French horn as her instrument when she was 14.
