Sadie began studying the flute at age nine and soon began working with Adrianne Greenbaum, who encouraged her to join the Norwalk Youth Symphony. Accepted at age ten as the orchestra’s youngest member, Sadie quickly discovered her passion for orchestral playing—an experience that continues to shape her artistic path today.

At thirteen, she won the Alexander & Buono International Flute Competition, for which she debuted at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall. Sadie then studied with Carol Wincenc at Juilliard Pre-College for two years, during which she played with both the Juilliard Pre-College Orchestra and New York Youth Symphony Orchestra.

In 2022, Sadie was invited to play with Carnegie Hall’s NYO2, which included a six-day residency in Miami Beach, culminating in a performance at the New World Center. The following summer, she embarked on a North American tour with NYO-USA, performing under the direction of Sir Andrew Davis alongside renowned soloists Gil Shaham and Hilary Hahn.

Sadie is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music Degree in Flute Performance at the New England Conservatory in Boston, MA, studying with Paula Robison. Outside of school, Sadie is Principal Flutist of Benjamin Zander’s Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. In her time with the orchestra, she has performed in two international tours to Europe and Mexico, and has had the privilege of performing major flute solos such as Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé and Debussy’s Afternoon of the Faun. In addition to her orchestral work, she recently won the New England Conservatory Concerto Competition, and will perform Ibert Concerto with the NEC Symphony in March 2026.

In addition to her dedication to flute, Sadie is an avid runner, and completed the New York City Marathon in November 2025 alongside her brother and twin sister to raise funds for Release Recovery Foundation. Aside from running, Sadie enjoys reading, hiking, and yoga.
