A happy new year to all my visitors, all the forummembers and everyone else. Here’s to a 2012 full of new Sarah music!!
Sarah recorded a new Christmas song with the choir from her Foundation, watch it here!
I’m so sorry this took so long - I’ve been far too busy and besides the Sarah school of music update there aren’t any big updates. Sarah is still writing for the new album, as a few small updates on her Facebook reveal:
I’ve been writing with a few different people and am going in this week with my dear friend and past producer Pierre to write…am excited! ox S

School of music open, back to writing for my new album xo, Sarah
The Sarah school of music officially had its opening and you can watch videos about it right here and here! The official website looks amazing, by the way…And for the people who want pictures, here is the gallery:
Besides that, there are alot of charity updates: a new ASPCA commercial featuring Sarah, a prize pack contest and Sarah will perform at an Autism Speaks fundraiser. Read more about that one right here. The smaller charity stuff (autgraphed items up for auction for example) can be found on the charity pages of this website.
Last: listen to Sarah’s full concert at the Massey Hall on March 17 right here!
It’s been quiet here again, but besides the small Sarah news I was also busy with - well almost everything. But here are the updates!
First: the Flight 93 National Memorial Dedication. Sarah performed I Will Remember You and Angel. Both videos can be downloaded at the forum! Here’s the gallery for the performance:
Second: more charity work from Sarah! The 10th annual Music Therapy Ride has an acoustic Yamaha guitar signed by Sarah up as a price. Check for more information right here.
Third: alot of “new” old sound stuff popped up on Youtube. Most of it is from the World Rock cafe in 1994, but there’s also some other stuff. Here is the list and the links to youtube:

Last but not least, Sarah posted this on Twitter & Facebook: “Great 3 days in the studio writing with Matt Morris”. Also, here it is said Matt Morris will begin co-writing on the forthcoming Sarah McLachlan record!!
And that’s it for today!
Yes, everything is still alive here! No news for a month or so, but this was just posted on Sarah’s official website:

Sarah received the degree of Doctor of Fine Arts from the Simon Fraser University on June 15th! From Sarah’s Facebook:
Humbled and honoured to receive
Check here the gallery:
Watch here a video of Sarah’s performance (she played World On Fire and Angel)
And watch here her comments on receiving the degree.
Exactly 5 years ago I first registered the domain Solaced.nl, in the hope to put a nice Sarah McLachlan fansite online. Now, 5 years later, not only the domain has changed - because of server and hosting problems - but the layout and the content also changed. With the help of all the people on the forum (Sarahboards.com too!) I could maintain this website with the latest news, but also with rare recordings or bootlegs, new shiny pictures and tour information/setlists. I’m very grateful for all those people and couldn’t do this all without you guys!
Today is Solaced’s birthday and I actually can’t believe it’s 5 years old - it sure feels like just a year or something. For those who are interested, I put this small graphic together which shows every layout Solaced has gone through (in those 5 years I’ve learned alot about website designing/graphical designing, so the first layouts look quite stupid now for me, haha)
Again I would like to thank all the members/old members from both boards (Sarahboards and the current one). You guys are amazing!
Love,
Ellen
