What started out as a simple text bemoaning the pandemic became Sophia Production’s virtual music festival “bummerfest” held last month.
Juniors Sophia Barber and Sophie Moser both majoring in music industry and co-founders of their production company Sophia Productions had found out in December that a concert that they were planning was likely going to be virtual and experience budget cuts because of the pandemic.

As the daughter of longtime Denver music fixture and Colfax Museum founder Jonny Barber, Sophia Barber was bound to work in the music business. Jonny took Barber to a lot of concerts throughout her childhood, and during her time at George Washington High School, she put on her own shows.
After graduating from high school, Barber moved to Los Angeles in 2018 to study in the University of Southern California’s music-industry program. She met St. Louis native Sophie Moser in the program, and the two went on to form Sophia Productions, their own event production company, in January 2020.
