The versatility and agility of Sophia Brumfitt's voice has enabled her to work in areas spanning the entire spectrum of early music; from Medieval to Early Classical. She has performed as a soloist in oratorio, through renaissance and medieval music, to traditional Celtic and Sephardic song. She has just returned from a four week tour of Australia with Lutenist Rosemary Hodgson. Their duo Rosa Mundi revived music for the rarely heard HarpLute as well as theorbo and Lute songs following a week as Artists in Residence with the Bundanon Trust in NSW.

In the last year, Sophia Brumfitt sang soprano solos in Monteverdi's 1610 Vespers at Douai Abbey, and at Clifton Cathedral, Bristol, J.S. Bach's Bminor Mass at Sherborne Abbey, appeared as Seraphina in Celestial Sirens' dramatization of Sarah Dunant's novel Sacred Hearts, sang chants from the liturgical Play of the Sybils for Julia Pond Dance and improvised on works in an exhibition by Helen Scalway in Singing the Drawings at St. George's Church, Esher. She is a member of the medieval ensemble Bardos Band, has appeared in Dartington Festival Baroque Opera, baroque consorts Phoenix Rising, Hanbarne Ensemble and with The Dolmetsch Ensemble and has sung in choirs with Sir Neville Marriner's Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, and Gabriel Garrido's Ensemble Elyma at many prestigious venues, and even as a combined solo singer and dancer in the baroque dance project Orpheus Britannicus at Cadogan Hall.

Recordings by medieval ensembles Bardos Band and Daughters of Elvin have played on BBC Radio 3, and she has appeared on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour talking about the enduring love song. Her newest recording Sesons with Bardos Band is presently in production.

In 2001 Sophia first performed Songs for Mary Hodgson, a programme of songs from the 1690s London Stage, which she and harpsichordist Robert Howarth revived in 2005 for various music festivals throughout the UK. She has appeared in concerts at The Handel House Museum, The King of HeArts in Norfolk and Norwich Festival, York Early Music Festival, 'Music in Quiet Places' and the Salisbury International Arts Festival.
