About Me.
I’m Sofía Hidalgo, a pianist, composer, and arranger who believes in the power of music to evoke emotion and tell a story. From my earliest days at the piano to my current work composing for film and arranging for ensembles, music has always been my way of connecting with the world.
Why Music?
Music has always been my companion; it has helped me connect with the world and express my emotions. Whether I find inspiration in peaceful moments or energetic rollercoasters, each experience can be translated to the powerful language of music.

From my early days as the youngest member of an orchestra in Mexico to performing alongside the talented musicians at LIPA, each step of my journey has shaped who I am today.
Composing
I love blending classical with contemporary music when it comes to composing. My biggest inspirations are artists like Ludovico Einaudi, Hans Zimmer, and Yiruma. Using the piano and orchestral textures to craft stories, my music evokes feelings and transports listeners to my world.
Composing & Arranging
In both arranging and composing, I love blending classical and contemporary styles to create music that speaks to the heart. Whether reimagining pop songs for quartets, transcribing for brass, or crafting cinematic pieces inspired by Ludovico Einaudi, Hans Zimmer, and Yiruma, my focus is always on giving each instrument a voice. Using piano and orchestral textures, I strive to evoke emotions and transport listeners into my world.
Arranging
The pieces I’ve arranged come from a handful of genres. Whether I’m reimagining pop songs for quartets or transcribing sheets for brass instruments, I strive to create arrangements that speak to the heart. In my arrangements, it’s all about giving a voice to each instrument.
Who am I?
I’ve grown into an artist who isn’t afraid to push boundaries, to mix genres, and to make music that feels true to who I am. I embrace every side of myself—the classical pianist, the contemporary composer, and the modern-day storyteller. Music is still my way of connecting with the world, but now, it’s also my way of carving out my own space in it.
What's Next?
I’m focused on expanding my reach, collaborating with new artists, and creating music that resonates with others.

My Biography.

I’ve scored Revenants, an award-winning short film by Jedric Villar, had my compositions performed by a string quintet, and played at festivals like Alpaka Fest in Spain. I am grateful for every opportunity that comes my way. Music is my constant evolution and I can’t wait to see where the next project takes me.

From house parties to grand concert halls, each stage has been a unique opportunity to connect with audiences around the world.
I’ve performed in Mexico, Costa Rica, Spain, the US and the UK, collaborating with musicians from a variety of cultures. Whether it’s performing at international festivals, working in studios, or sharing my music in creative spaces, each experience has shaped my sound, blending rich influences into something uniquely my own.

The first concert I ever took a video of was Paul McCartney’s performance in Mexico City in 2017. Funny how now I’m studying at the university he founded!

Baby Taylor Swift and baby me give off the exact same vibe.
