A graduate of The Juilliard School Pre-College, the Conservatoire de Paris and the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, where she studied with Minhye Clara Kim, Philippe Muller and Nicolas Altstaedt, Sophia recently received her Artist Diploma at The Juilliard School and Columbia University, in New York City, as a Celia Ascher Full-Scholarship Fellow — studying cello performance at Juilliard with Minhye Clara Kim and film studies at Columbia University.
She also worked in recent years under the mentorship of French cellist Gautier Capuçon as a laureate of the Louis Vuitton Foundation “Classe d’Excellence de Violoncelle”. The specialized program allowed her to take part in six public masterclasses and concerts with her mentor — which were broadcast internationally on Medici.tv and Radio France.
