THE RIDGE

Sarah Neufeld is a violinist and composer based in Montr al, Canada. Best known as a member
of Arcade Fire, she is also a founding member of the acclaimed contemporary instrumental
ensemble Bell Orchestre, and most recently as half of an exciting new duo with renowned
saxophonist Colin Stetson.
Neufeld counts Bela Bartok, Steve Reich, Iva Bittova and Arthur Russell among the formative
influences for her solo work, in tandem with an ear for the textures and sensibilities of contemporary
electro-acoustic, avant-folk and indie rock music.
In 2013 Sarah Neufeld released her debut album 'Hero Brother' on Montreal's Constellation
Records. 'Hero Brother' was produced by Nils Frahm. 'The Ridge', Neufeld's second solo
album, features performances and production from the likes of Colin Stetson, Tim Hecker and
Arcade Fire's Jeremy Gara on drums and synth.
