Conductor - Sarah Latto

"A brilliant conductor, clearly communicating with the singers throughout. She’s also the only person on stage to perform of-book, displaying an innate knowledge and command of every piece...


Latto is definitely one to watch. Her intricate yet understated conducting and demonstrable affinity with the music highlights her as a stand-out choral conductor."

- The Arts Desk, 2021


”Every gesture of her conducting [was] both musically legible

and significant in the story, to make it at one time resemble

maternal tenderness, at another a grimace of derision, at yet

another pure ecstasy”

Described as “a brilliant and innovative conductor” (The Arts Desk), Sarah Latto has worked with some of the country’s leading groups, including the BBC Singers and Ex Cathedra. After studying at the University of Cambridge, Sarah trained with The Sixteen’s young artist programme Genesis Sixteen, Brighton Early Music Festival, and as a fellow at Yale University. She has appeared as a guest conductor with organisations including the National Youth Choir of Great Britain, the University of York and Trinity Laban Conservatoire. Alongside conducting, Sarah is also a composer and arranger whose work has been performed by ensembles including the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Singers.



"Sarah Latto was billed as “conductor” but was actually so much more: she ran the show with an enjoyable informality, a relaxed looseness that drew the audience in. Her conducting was excellent, her speaking between items well-judged, and she had the confidence to do some things other conductors might shy away from: to not conduct when she didn’t see the need, to join in singing herself, to have another member of the group conduct an item.... It was all completely admirable and speaks to a well-justified musical self-assurance."
