Born in Melbourne, Sophie commenced piano lessons aged 12 with Joane Simons and viola lessons aged 13 with Simon Collins. She completed a Bachelor of Music Performance degree at the Victorian College of the Arts, undertook further studies in The Netherlands with Henk Guittart (Schoenberg Quartet) and recently completed a Masters of Music Performance degree at Melbourne University. She has toured throughout Europe, China and Australia performing at venues including Royal Albert Hall (The Proms), London and Het Concertgebouw, Amsterdam and Sydney Opera House.

Since 1989, Sophie has co-ordinated and performed at weddings and events with her string quartet, Alto. In 1996, the company, Alto Productions, was established and has provided the highest quality performances at hundreds of functions.

In 2005, she wrote, directed and produced her first stage show, Tango's Violin, which was performed in a sell out season at The Famous Spiegeltent, Melbourne. Sophie performed the lead role in this musical, alternating between leading her band, red dash black and narrating the story. This has since been performed in a second sellout at His Majesty's Theatre, Perth.

Her most recent show, Unstrung Heroes, was performed as the opening of the 2007 Cabaret Soiree season at His Majesty's in Perth. It combined comical anecdotes about musicians with a wide selection of favourites played by string quartet. This will be performed again on December 15th at The Famous Spiegeltent, Melbourne.
