Gotobeat and Classical Unlocked are excited to present Sophie Hutchings, supported by Isobelle Austin, live in London at Piano Smithfield on Thursday, October 29.
Rich with emotion, texture, and contrast, as propulsive and powerful as it is elegant and intimate, Sophie’s live shows create an atmosphere of deep stillness that translates beautifully to international stages. Alongside celebrated works from A World Outside and the meditative, single-take focus of Become The Sky, these upcoming performances will feature exclusive, unreleased live renditions created specifically for this tour.

Sophie Hutchings has quietly established herself among the top tier of the world’s contemporary classical musicians, releasing eight albums and achieving over 375m streams. Based on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia, the pianist and composer has built a substantial international career, topping the UK Classical Album Charts with Echoes in the Valley, opening for luminaries like Ólafur Arnalds and Hauschka, Federico Albanese and Lambert, along with being involved with a number of acclaimed films including Babyteeth and True Spirit. Her creative momentum has been mirrored by major industry recognition, including an Australian Record Industry Association Award win for Best Classical Album in 2024, a subsequent ARIA nomination in 2025, and being named one of the Australian National Live Music Awards’ top five live instrumentalists of the year. This crossover success is highlighted by her recent March 2026 project with electronic producer Digitonal (of Max Richter’sSleepproject), which topped Apple Music playlist charts across Europe.

Isobelle Austin is a London-based contemporary classical cellist and composer whose work is guided by synesthesia, translating sound into rich textures of color, light, and movement. Having built an extensive session and live performance background alongside prominent acts like Ed Sheeran, Andrea Bocelli, and Robbie Williams, she has expanded into original composition. Following the launch of her debut original single "Sun On My Skin," she has continued to release immersive, multi-layered cello works such as "Meditation on Three" as part of her rollout toward an upcoming debut album.
