A first for Newport Music Club! We are thrilled to introduce the prize-winning accordionist Sofía Ros. Born in the Canary Isles but now based in Glasgow, accordionist Sofía Ros was named BBC Radio Scotland Young Classical Musician of the Year in 2025, following her solo debut with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra performing Astor Piazzolla’s Aconcagua Concerto under the baton of Andrew Gourlay at Glasgow City Halls.
Sofía won First Prize in the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s 2024 Concerto Competition and was also a prize winner of the Trophée Mondial de l’Accordéon; and in the Manhattan and Vienna International Music Competitions. A finalist in the keyboard category of the Royal Over-Seas League Competition, Sofía’s performances have been broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland’s Classical Now and BBC Radio 4’s Front Row.
Her impressive list of achievements includes performance at major international venues including Carnegie Hall in New York; the Musikverein, Konzerthaus, and Alten Rathaus in Vienna; the Purcell Room in London; Queen’s Hall and Usher Hall in Edinburgh; and Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall. Why not come along to see this rising star and hear for yourself?
This performance is only possible because Sofía is kindly supported by the Countess of Munster Trust.
