Music has been a huge part of Sofia Demetriades, since she was 4 years old. From the time she was 2, she would run into her elder sister’s violin lessons, wanting to play as well!
Sofia Demetriades gave her first public performance at 5 and her first solo performance with an orchestra at 8. Since then, she took part in many national and international violin competitions, such as the Leonid Kogan in Brussels, the Ilona Feher in Budapest, the Lipinski-Wieniawski in Lublin, and the Il Piccolo Violino Magico in San Vito al Tagliamento, winning top prizes.
She is currently playing on a violin loaned by the family of the late French luthier Georges Ambros. She has studied at the Junior Guildhall of Music and Drama in London with Anna-Liisa Bezrodny for the past five years, and now, she is attending the Junior Academy at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Her music studies are supported by the British Government bursary and the A. G. Leventis Foundation, under the patronage of Maestro Marios Papadopoulos.
