Daisy Jopling was born on 19 February 1969 in London. She began playing the violin at age 3 and at age 14 she performed Bach’s Double Concerto for Violin and Oboe at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Jopling studied the violin with Itzhak Rashkovsky at the Royal College of Music, David Takeno at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and Boris Kuschnir at the Konservatorium Wien, Austria. At age 19, Jopling studied Hungarian folk violin in Gymes, Transylvania. Five years later, Jopling traveled to Ghana alone to study Kpanlogo drumming at the Mustapha Tettey Addy drumming school. Jopling moved from London to Vienna in 1994 and to New York in 2006.
For 13 years, Jopling toured with the creative string trio, Triology. Triology recorded four studio albums, two of them with BMG RCA Victor. Triology released “Triology plays Ennio Morricone” on 10 November 1998; and “Who Killed the Viola Player” on 11 May 2000. On Extraplatte Records, Triology released their third album, “Around the World in 77 Minutes”. Their last studio album was recorded with Jazz guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel on Material Records in 2003. Triology toured the world, performing in over 23 countries. The group has written the film music for 3 Georg Riha films, Schönbrunn, Die Wachau and Salzburg, and arranged and recorded Hans Zimmer’s score in Hollywood for “The Road to El Dorado” and “Spanglish”.
