She has been playing violin for thirteen years and currently studies with Dr. Daniel Sender. During her time at UVA, she has been involved with many performance groups, including the Charlottesville Symphony, Chamber Ensembles, and the Baroque Orchestra. She is a Miller Arts Scholar and a recipient of the Undergraduate Award for Projects in the Arts with her piano trio, Trio Sobrenna, which funded the group’s fourth year recital. Sophia also played in masterclasses with Ruth Bacon, James Lyon and László Pólus.
Sophia’s favorite memories at UVA include making music with others in various contexts. She dedicates her program to the people who were part of her musical journey on the violin.
