Sarah Paz Hyde

American handpan musician, vocalist, violinist and community organizer whose work joins sound journeys, education, visual art and collaborative gathering.

Sarah Paz Hyde is an American handpan musician, vocalist, violinist, educator and visual artist whose practice is often described through the idea of sound alchemy. She began violin at a young age and added handpan to her musical life in 2016, developing performances that combine voice, strings, resonance and improvisation. Her activity includes sound journeys, play-based learning, workshops and community events, with an emphasis on helping participants explore creativity and connection. She is also associated with Super Bloom, a gathering centred on women in the handpan community, where organizing and facilitation extend her role beyond individual performance. Visual art remains another part of her creative identity. PanScapes should present spiritual or sound-healing language as the context of her work rather than as evidence of medical effect.
