Karine posted this way earlier, but I completely forget about it – Sarah will receive a honorary degree during the fall convocation on 19 and 20 November. Read the full articles right here.

Coming off of Grammy Awards for her hits Building a Mystery (1997) and I Will Remember You (1999), no star in the music industry shone brighter than Halifax, Nova Scotia-born artist Sarah McLachlan. But her influence on the music industry runs deeper than a string of hits and 14 albums since 1988 that have sold some 40 million copies worldwide. McLachlan is the founder of Lilith Fair, the historic all-women concert tour that raised more than $10 million for national and local women’s organizations and elevated the profile of many female artists. Realizing that many children had little or no access to music, McLachlan founded the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, an after-school free music education program for underserved and at-risk children from low-income families in her longtime home of Vancouver. Beyond music, McLachlan has used her international profile to raise millions of dollars for AIDS sufferers, and has put her name and much of her philanthropic effort behind a number of animal-welfare groups. She was made an officer of the Order of Canada in 1999. Sarah McLachlan will receive an honorary doctor of laws degree Nov. 20 at 10 a.m.

I also got two articles about the Alberta Ballet, this one right here and this one.

“I know what the song is about and it’s very emotionally charged for me, and it was just this pained love and loss playing out on their faces and bodies, and I started bawling,” she remembers of the powerful pas de deux, speaking to the Straight from her West Vancouver home. “And there was this room full of people watching me reacting and I’m trying to suck it up.”

Sarah’s new website just launched! It’s looking pretty neat, with some cool pictures and photos, lots of info and more stuff. Sarah posted on her official YouTube channel a few videos for us to watch, one of them is…:

Be sure to check the other three as well, right here, here and hereee!

The new channel also has a video of Sarah singing on the ukulele one of her new songs, one Miguel posted earlier on the forum (and of course, I completely forgot about that!)

Karine also posted some charity work over at the forum: Sarah ccontributes to the AIDS Walk San Diego’s Social Media Campaign‏! The #AWSD campaign is basically a personal photo with the message “#AWSD” is.. and then their personal message. Here’s Sarah’s picture:

Read more about it here and right here.

In a recent interview with ET Canada – about Barefoot in the Backyard – Sarah mentions she hopes her new album will be finished in December. The video also provides with some stuff of her Barefoot in the Backyard performance, so take a look! Here and here are also two pictures from that event.

And this article is worth reading!

A recent study published in the journal PLOS One found that people who exercise in natural settings enhance their creativity. No surprise then to learn that Sarah McLachlan writes songs in her head while trail running. But 45-year-old singer also takes part in sports that require more attention to the task at hand.

The Yamaha performance updates just keep on coming! Here is the gallery for the event:

And right here an article about the show:

Sarah McLachlan almost stole the night from the headliner, as her three ballads – “Adia,” “I Will Remember You” and “Angel” – were not only exquisitely sung but deeply enriched by the orchestra, swelling subtly when needed. (She also got the funniest line out of Sinbad: “I have 75 stray dogs now. All of them have one eye.”)
