Sarah Seiver

Sarah Seiver has been a member of the New Jersey Symphony cello section for more than 35 years. Her audition, for then Music Director Hugh Wolff, took place on stage at Newark's Symphony Hall with the semi-final round downstairs in the World Famous Terrace Room.

Seiver and New Jersey Symphony bassoonist Mark Timmerman created the Orchestra’s “Ask a Musician” intermission feature, for which the New Jersey Symphony presented them with the Orchestra’s Award for Audience Development in 2006. In 2008, Seiver started the New Jersey Symphony’s board member/musician partnership program, pairing New Jersey Symphony trustees one on one with members of the Orchestra in an initiative designed to promote awareness and interaction within the organization.

In addition to the New Jersey Symphony, Seiver is a member of the American Ballet Theatre Orchestra and has been a cellist for many musicals on Broadway.

Seiver graduated from the Curtis Institute of Music and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University and a Master of Music degree from The Juilliard School.
