Sophie’s musical career began at an early age, receiving trumpet lessons from her father from the age of 4 and beginning to sing with the RSNO Junior Chorus under Christopher Bell aged 7. Sophie sang under Christopher Bell with the RSNO Junior Chorus from 2004-2014, during which time she has had the opportunity to perform at events such as the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and in venues including the Amsterdam Conzertgebouw Hall and the Royal Albert Hall as part of the BBC Proms and regularly in the Edinburgh Usher Hall as part of the Edinburgh International Festival, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and the Caird Hall.
