Sofia Ros is a student of the well-distinguished Serbian accordionist and pedagogue Djordje Gajic at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. In September 2021, Sofia made her debut at the Musikverein’s Brahms Saal in Vienna. In 2022-2023, she will also perform in other well-known venues throughout the UK, such as the Purcell Room and Corinthia Hotel, organized by the Drake Calleja Trust. As a soloist with orchestra, Ros has performed at the Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh, Scotland, on two occasions, and as a finalist of the Edinburgh Competition Festival (Concerto Class), featuring Richard Galliano’s “Opale Concerto” and Astor Piazzolla’s “Double Concerto.” Her repertoire ranges from original works for accordion (Kusyakov, Lorentzen, Londonov, Makkonen ...), to transcriptions from Bach, Scarlatti, Schnittke and Albeniz. Sofia has received numerous first prizes in international accordion competitions, including the Moscow International music competition 2021, the British College Association of Accordionist competition 2021, Odin International music competition 2021, and London’s “Young Musician of the Year” 2020-2021, where she obtained the Grand Prix. Ros will also be working on a CD recording with TrueArt TV as part of the prize. She has also received awards at international competitions in Klingethal, Germany, Castelfidardo, and San Vincenzo, Italy.
First prizes in Spain include the Arrasate Accordion Competition 2012, 2018, and 2019 and in Scotland, the Allie Cullen Memorial prize as part of the Glasgow Music Festival Competition 2019. Sofia was born in the Canary Islands (Spain). At 13, she gained a full scholarship to Scotland’s National Specialist Music School “St. Mary’s Music School,” in Edinburgh. She studied there four years, winning their annual competition, “Director’s Recital Prize,” in 2020. In 2021, Ros was awarded a partial ABRSM EU undergraduate scholarship at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and received support from the Craxton Memorial Trust and Talent Unlimited program.

** Program Note – Home of the Brave is an orchestral piece that emerged from the idea of combining the complexity of symphonic language with the unique sound of Native American music. As a native of Honduras, Solis had not been exposed to much of this kind of music prior to starting this project, but he quickly found himself fascinated by its spirituality. Throughout this work, “I aimed to depict a diverse array of musical moments and gestures inspired by elements from the music of various Native American tribes, united with the overarching spirit and essence I felt when listening to their music--purity, strength, and dignity.” This piece was composed as part of the student composer-in-residence program between the Irving Symphony Orchestra and Southern Methodist University.
Patrons will not be admitted into the hall while the concert is in progress. Please silence cell phones. We ask that no flash photography be used, but taking pictures is permitted. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sponsored by STEMMONS FOUNDATION THE IRVING ARTS CENTER True to the mission of the Concert4Kids, Peter and the Wolf introduces children to the instruments of the orchestra with a representation of each character in this dramatic story. The characters – boy, bird, duck, cat, grandfather, wolf, hunters – and their doings have been beloved by younger and older audiences since introduced by Sergei Prokofiev in 1936. The ISO proudly carried on this tradition much to the delight of an engaged audience. From the classic of the past to dreams of the future and outer space, the orchestra and ballet showcase came together for a beautiful afternoon of sensory delight, emotional joy and patriotism.
Thank you to our featured performers: the Irving Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Ensemble of Texas, and Nick Alexander-narrator.
