Sophie Roberts

Sophie Roberts is an actor and alumna of the B.A. (Hons) in Acting at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. She is a Visiting Tutor to third year undergraduates, and she also works on the audition panel at Guildhall.  In her final year at the Guildhall School, Sophie won the BBC Carleton Hobbs Award, which led to a six month placement on the BBC Radio Rep Company. She has worked regularly in radio, audio and voiceover work since then. Theatre work has taken her to the West End, RSC, Hampstead Theatre, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, Chichester, Arcola Theatre, Sheffield Crucible, Salisbury Playhouse, Chester Grosvenor Park, New Wolsey Theatre, Nottingham Playhouse, Watermill Theatre, as well as UK tours with Shared Experience and Theatre Royal Bath. She has also worked in TV and film.

Sophie’s enterprise, co-founded with pianist Hunter Noack is entitled re-form productions ltd. They are part of a growing movement of artists seeking to engage with a more diverse audience. Their mission is to creatively unlock historic world events and anniversaries through an adventurous fusion of theatrical and (classical) musical story-telling. Their pilot production is an immersive classical music and theatrical performance of Schoenberg’s ‘Transfigured Night’ at the Milton Court Studio Theatre in April 2014.

American pianist Hunter Noack’s portfolio ranges from concerto performances with American and European orchestras, to solo recitals in major halls, collaborations with visual artists, poets, dance and acting companies, piano and chamber works premiered for the BBC, original scores composed for both film and theatre, and multi-run theatre productions in San Francisco and London.
This past year, Hunter was invited by the European Music Council to represent Guildhall School for a 10-day classical improvisation conference in The Hague.

Other recent performances include several concerts in the Hamptons, NY, recitals on the Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, in Cambridge, various venues in London and in March 2014, he was invited as special guest for a week at the HARMOS Music Festival in Portugal with his chamber ensemble, the Venari Trio.
Hunter's artistic interpretations and engaging style have developed over a lifetime of working and collaborating with artists of all types including musicians Nicola Benedetti, Ruth Zeisak, David Dolan, Robert Levin, and Ernst Reijseger, poets Billy Collins and Dan Overgaard, conductors Lawrence Leighton Smith, Gerard Schwarz, Larry Livingston, Anu Tali, and Rachel Worby, the New Movement Collective (NMC) dance company, and the Sunriver Music Festival, Pasadena Symphony, Pasadena Youth, Eastern Music Festival, USC Thornton Symphony, USC Concert, and the Multi-Story orchestras.

In line with Hunter’s goal to explore new ways of experiencing classical music, he co-founded re-form productions with actor Sophie Roberts. Their mission is to interpret world events through a creative fusion of theatre and classical music. Last year Hunter won the Guildhall School’s coLABorateAward, providing re-form the resources to produce their pilot production: an immersive classical music and theatrical performance of Schoenberg’s sextet, ‘Transfigured Night’ at the Milton Court Studio Theatre in April 2014.
