Sarah made our event unforgettable.

Sarah created a beautiful backdrop to our special yoga event. She was able to improvise a meditative flow that perfectly complimented the movements and helped deepen the experience for everyone. The students absolutely loved her music. Sarah's expertise and experience shined in her ability to improvise music that was so much more than technically beautiful - it was full of meaning and depth. She was also extremely professional and very responsive to my questions.

Women's Fellowship Event

Sarah is AMAZING... Beyond her being a consummate professional she is gracious and kind and her energy blended well with the group. For many of the attendees, this was their first experience with a Cellist and they were in awe! I will definitely work with Sarah in the future. She is worth her weight in Gold. I urge you to book her for your next event... you will not be disappointed.

The best

Sarah definitely showed up and showed out for our garden themed wedding. When we decided we wanted a harp and violin added, she didn't hesitate. Ppl are still talking about the beauty and elegance that truly enhanced our special day. 5 stars isn't enough to give her and the team

About

Celloverton is the stage name of Sarah Overton — a New York City-based cellist, electric cellist, recording artist, composer, string arranger, and music contractor who doesn't believe the cello has a genre. A 2025 New Music USA Creative Fund Award winner, she has performed with Alicia Keys, Lalah Hathaway, and Asake, and brought the electric cello to stages from Carnegie Hall to Broadway's Hell's Kitchen. Whether composing originals, arranging strings, or contracting sessions, her work sits at the intersection of artistry and craft — genre-defying by design.
