Sophia Brous
Sophia Brous is a cross-disciplinary performance-maker based in New York and Melbourne, Australia.
Brous was program director of the Melbourne International Jazz Festival from 2009-2011. She has also worked as a presenter on Triple R radio, and as music curator at the Adelaide Festival of Arts.
In 2011, Brous released her debut EP, Brous. According to Craig Mathieson writing for the Sydney Morning Herald, the tracks range from "gilded 1950 exotica and space-age textures to folk mysticism and spooked electronica."
In 2016, Brous went to New York and was appointed artist-in-residence at National Sawdust. She created "Lullaby Movement", a song cycle with lullabies from 25 different cultures.
Brous attended King David School, Wesley College and the Victorian College of Arts. At the age of 17 she moved to Boston to study at the New England Conservatory and the Berklee College of Music.
