Sophia Di Lucchio is a multi-disciplinary violinist and performance artist completing a Bachelor of Music (Honours) at the Queensland Conservatorium, under the tutelage of Associate Professor Michele Walsh. Sophia has been awarded the Sir Samuel Griffith Scholarship and the Matilda Jane Aplin Violin Prize, as well as the Griffith Award for Academic Excellence, and is a member of the Student Academy of Excellence. With roots in classical training and branches outstretched to the modern and abstract, she passionately performs as a chamber, orchestral, and solo musician. She has featured in side-by-side projects with the Australian String Quartet, Queensland Symphony Orchestra, and Queensland Ballet, and is a member of Australian Youth Orchestra, Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra, and multiple chamber ensembles. She has also volunteered as concertmaster and artistic director of the Westside Community Orchestra, and teaches violin and viola.

 Sophia is inspired by the possibilities of genre-bending performance, particularly the fusion of music with poetry and visual art.  Sophia excitedly seeks out new and innovative opportunities to collaborate with other rising artists. When she is not performing, Sophia loves reading, exploring nature, and spending time with her cat.
