Sophie’s recent engagements include collaborations with the Boston Early Music Festival, Blue Heron, the Lorelei Ensemble, Bach Collegium San Diego, Palaver Strings, Ruckus as well as a solo recital of Barbara Strozzi’s music at the Fondazione Cini, Venice, Italy. She won the 2nd prize at the 2021 Handel Aria Competition in Madison WI, the William Grogan Award at the 2022 Lyndon Woodside Oratorio-Solo competition. She has sung under the baton of Andris Nelsons, Thomas Adès, Leonardo García Alarcón, and Lidiya Yankovskaya, among others. This season, she will premiere Her Story by Julia Wolfe with the Boston, Chicago, Nashville, and San Francisco Symphony Orchestras, with the Lorelei Ensemble.
