Pianodrome
At Pianodrome this weekend there will be a free concert by Sophie Joint. The concert begins at 4pm on 18 May at the Warehouse 28 West Harbour Road EH5 1PN.
Sophie Joint is a piano player from Glasgow who has been brought up playing both Scottish and Irish traditional music. Having recently graduated from The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, she is enjoying a career of performing and teaching within the Scottish music scene. With strong traditional roots, Sophie draws influences from other styles including classical and jazz shaping her own unique sound. She was recently a finalist in the BBC Young Traditional Musician of The Year competition in 2022, and has been a winner of the Danny Kyle award at Celtic Connections.
She has recently released her debut solo album ‘Light on Water’. The album encapsulates the inspiration she finds from Scotland’s unique and varied seascapes – the music reflects the different moods created by the constantly changing textures and sounds of the sea. The music video for the single ‘Apricity’ was filmed at Wardie Bay thanks to the team at Pianodrome. They wheeled a grand piano out onto the pier on one of the coldest days of the year. Sophie is looking forward to coming back to Granton to play some of the album live at the Pianodrome’s lunch time concert.
