Sarah Raven

(she/her)

Operations Manager

Sarah is a singer, producer, and arts administrator who has spent much of her career reshaping operatic culture through innovative, immersive, and occasionally irreverent work in NYC’s underground music scene. Beyond her creative work, Sarah brings nearly two decades of experience across organizations of all shapes and sizes, including The Metropolitan Opera, Columbia Artists Management, Opera on Tap, and Asylum Arts. Her work has touched nearly every corner of arts administration, from producing events and artist retreats around the globe to administering grants and overseeing financial operations. Amid the many challenges artists face, Sarah’s work remains grounded in a deep love and admiration for artists and a determination to help them thrive. After 17 wonderful years in Brooklyn, Sarah recently traded New York City for Philadelphia, where she lives with her husband, a rambunctious toddler, two disgruntled cats, and Duncan, an endlessly charming and hopelessly stubborn bulldog.
