Sara Davis Buechner (born David Buechner, 1959)[1] is an American concert pianist and educator. She has been an assistant professor of piano at the University of British Columbia since 2003,[2] and was formerly a member of the faculties of Manhattan School of Music and New York University.[3]

Buechner received her bachelor's and master's degrees from Juilliard School, studying with celebrated Czech pianist Rudolf Firkusny and received her doctorate in music from the Manhattan School of Music.[4]

She underwent gender reassignment surgery in 1998.[4] She dislikes the term "transsexual", and is said to be "mildly peeved" about being referred to as such, stating that living as a woman was the only honest way to live her life.[5]

She has performed with many different orchestras with an active repertoire of almost 100 concertos, and has given master classes at locations across the world.[6]

Ms. Buechner is a Yamaha Artist.
