The UK-German cellist Sophie Kauer, who gave a credible performance of the Elgar concerto in the Todd Fields film Tar, has landed another screen role. Sophie will play one of two sisters in Jaclyn Bethany’s English village story, All Five Eyes.
In Tar, she played Cate Blanchett’s latest love interest in the orchestra as the conductor’s marriage unravelled.
Kauer won a DG recording contract on the back of her performance.
