Sophie Trost Combo

Concert as part of the Fête de la Musique in the garden of the Museum of European Cultures

In her songs, Sophie Trost processes what moves her, be it personal experiences or socio-political events. The music of the Sophie Trost Combo is light and serious at the same time, danceable and leaves room for improvisation. The members of the combo enrich Sophie's songs with influences from jazz, bossa nova, reggae, Latin American rhythms, pop, chanson and much more. With sincere vocals and warm clarinet sounds, Sophie creates soulful, catchy melodies. Matija's virtuoso guitar playing provides enriching surprises. Underneath is the soft groove of Phil's bass, which percussionist Luis rounds off with diverse and subtle rhythms. In May 2025, the Sophie Trost Combo released their debut album "Into This World We Plunge", which was presented in several cultural radio formats and is regularly played on radio3 (kulturradio rbb), hr2-kultur and SWR2.

"Sophie Trost is a singer-songwriter from Berlin who [...] has an absolute knack for very smooth danceable music, which - beware - is really not trivial [...] This is really the best acoustic pop [...], whereby there is always a bit of folk, chanson, jazz, bossa nova and reggae [...], really great music, [...] a real discovery." - Henrike Leißner, radio3 - kulturradio vom rbb
