Sophie Druml

"The STRAD Magazine“ wrote 2023 after a concert as part of the world tour of TwoSet Violin in Montreal: "That evening, the recital itself began in cracking classical fashion … Sophie Druml opened the concert with an entrancing rendition of Franz Liszt's devilish 'Mephisto Waltz' (No. 1, 5.514), her playing by turns effervescent and vigorous. The dramatic, ten-minute tour de force set the technical bar high for the evening."
The “Mittelbayerische Zeitung” in Germany describes the young pianist and violinist Sophie Druml as an "exceptional talent who impresses the audience with her technical and creative abilities.” Austria‘s “Kleine Zeitung” wrote: “... the highly talented violinist Sophie Druml from Vienna was able to inspire with her fabulous purity of tone, enormous wealth of colors, amazing maturity and fascinating virtuosity ... for which she was cheered by the audience.” At another concert: “There was a reunion with the 21 year old Sophie Druml, who shone this time not as a violinist but as a pianist in solo pieces by Mozart and Chopin. Standing ovations!”

Sophie is a laureate of numerous competitions and appeared on four continents. The “Jeunesse Start Up! Artist 2018/19” was born in Vienna and studies piano with Jacques Rouvier and violin with Benjamin Schmid, Rainer Schmidt, Julian Rachlin and Emmanuel Tjeknavorian.
