Sakari Vanderveer

Sakari Dixon Vanderveer seeks to incorporate the unique artistry of her collaborators in each of her compositions, which often feature visceral, stark contrasts that convey her recurring fascination with metamorphosis as an element of life. She eagerly engages with creatives of various disciplines, especially if such projects enable children to participate in the joy of making art. Vanderveer’s dream is to give youth from all backgrounds access to contemporary music and composition, allowing them to develop a better appreciation of concert music – new and old – so that they can cherish it and engage with it throughout their lives.
