Sophie Hutchings + support: David Boulter

Australian pianist and composer Sophie Hutchings’ love affair with the piano began in a rather concealed manner. As a child she would secret herself away with only the family piano for company – quietly developing her ruminative, dreamy style which would later become her trademark. Although initially reserved about her music and the notion of live performance, it wasn’t until releasing her debut album Becalmed that Sophie was nudged into the public arena.

With two nominations for the Australian Music Prize and the National Live Music Awards’ top five live instrumentalists of the year, glowing praise from MOJO, The Guardian, Wonderland and the release of eight highly acclaimed albums including Echoes in the Valley reaching the impressive milestone of becoming the #1 classical album in the UK in 2021, Sophie Hutchings continues her incredible journey with her new album A World Outside out October 2023.
