Sophie studied music at the University of Sheffield, where she somehow managed never to touch a baton. Having taken up conducting in 2013, she has since worked with concert bands, choirs and orchestras, expanding her experience and knowledge wherever the opportunity presents itself. In 2016 Sophie became MD of Ripley Symphony Orchestra, based in Surrey, and joined the truly wonderful South London Concert Band as MD in 2023.
