My third full length album is entitled Wide Asleep and will be released through Preservation Records.

STIRRING, VIGOROUS, GRANDLY MELODIC. MOJO

A SENSE OF GENUINE BEAUTY. SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

NIGHT SKY IS THE SOUNDTRACK TO A FILM TOO HEARTBREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL TO EXIST. MESS & NOISE

Compared with the likes of Michael Nyman, Max Richter and Nils Frahm, Sydney pianist Sophie Hutchings gained much critical acclaim worldwide for her stunning music. Her debut album Becalmed scored a spot in UK music bible Mojo’s top 5 independent releases for 2010 and she continued to establish her unique presence with the 2012 album, Night Sky. Balancing a beautiful fragility with a deeper sense of urgency creates a striking charge to Hutchings’ work with a lightness of touch making for many shades set within Hutchings’ beguiling vision. Hutchings is currently writing for a third album, to be recorded with The Necks’ producer of choice, Tim Whitten.

” This demands attention and rewards it handsomely.  Night Sky is the soundtrack to a film too heartbreakingly beautiful to exist.” – Andrew P Street Mess + Noise

“And always, always, with this album a sense of genuine beauty” – Bernard Zuel, Sydney Morning Herald

“Stirring, vigourous, grandly melodic” – Mojo Magazine

“Frankly amazing . . the whole album holds you in a state of rapture that feels as if you’re about to burst into tears at any second at the sheer beauty of it, and I say that without condition. If there’s a higher praise than that, I can’t think of it. ” – db Magazine

” Expect to hear pins drop as she plays” Sydney Metro

SYDNEY ‘Night Sky Launch’ with An Infinity Room (AIR)
COLBOURNE AVE, CAFE CHURCH 37 ST JOHNS RD GLEBE
TICKETS: http://www.moshtix.com.au/event.aspx?id=60604&ref=sophie

Cafe Church in Glebe is a perfect best of both worlds scenario. It’s
BYO everything – last time we were there a group were sharing a
massive cake whilst another gent was grazing away with a lovely cheese
platter / wine combo. There’s a  beautiful grand piano  set up in the
middle of the room ensuring everyone gets a birds eye view. I’ve been
looking for a venue where the audience can feel relaxed without the
distractions of bar clatter but without the awkwardness of a stilted
overly formal environment. I think Cafe Church is probably it.

MELBOURNE ‘Night Sky Launch’ with Grand Salvo
