Sally Cooper is a shining star.
Words fail to describe the experience of seeing Sally live; she is without doubt one of Australia's most talented and
engaging performers. For as long as she can remember, violin has always been part of this Melbournian’s life. Somewhat of a child prodigy, the instrument has seen her develop from the school concert hall to the stage, to orchestras and to national television.
With her innate gift to play and her natural ability to perform, Sally was accepted into the Adelaide Conservatorium of Music at just eight years of age and was competing in national and international competitions and performing university-level concertos as a soloist with all major Australian orchestras from the age of nine.
It was towards the end of her musical studies at the Australian National Academy of Music when Sally found herself naturally drawn towards the pop genre. It was this move from classical to popular music, and her development of a new style blending the two genres with a very contemporary feel, which remains the key to Sally’s signature sound today.
