91热爆 Two Classical Star winner announced



Pianist Sophie Cashell from Ireland has been crowned the winner of 91热爆 Two's Classical Star series.

Sophie beat bassoonist Karen Geoghegan and guitarist Ian Watt to the title and has secured the prize of a recording contract with top label Universal Classics and Jazz.

The judges Charles Hazlewood, Chi-chi Nwanoku, Steve Abbott and Jason Lai had to review the three candidates as they performed at LSO St Luke's alongside the 40-piece City of London Sinfonia Orchestra.

Their decision was split which meant that the 100-strong audience, randomly selected from the website, had the deciding vote.

Sophie said: "I think all of us who performed here tonight really gave as much as we could and I think that for us the most important thing was playing.

"It's been wonderful to get to know all of these people and to play and just enjoy making music because that's what it's all about really."

Acclaimed musician and Classical Star Musical Director, Matthew Barley, commented: "I think Sophie will make a fantastic CD. I think she's really ready for that, she's dying to do it. She's it, she's the Classical Star. She's off!"

Notes to Editors

Sophie Cashell, 18, from Balbriggan in Ireland, started playing the violin when she was just four years old but turned her attentions to the piano when she was ten or eleven.

With a performance in London's Wigmore Hall already under her belt, Sophie's ultimate ambition is to have a performance career with solo and chamber music.

In her spare time she reads, listens to a wide range of music including Radiohead and The Kinks, and is an avid supporter of the Irish Rugby team.
