The Lyric Chord (zomg, one of the best bards evar?)

[Visigani]

Is it possible to achieve 9th level sorc casting with a bard 5/lyric thaumaturge 5/sublime chord 10?

How would you optimize this combination?

Hm... Maximize Perform, and do a lot of sonic spell damage. Between the extra d6's and the Caster Level boost, I'm sure you can pop some eardrums.

Assuming all material is allowed, in the Lords of Madness there is a feat called quick recovery that allows you to make a will save(10+1/2HD+cha. mod.) as a move action to save from the backlash of Born of Three Thunders. On top of possibly a stun/prone effect and half sonic if used with an electricity spell it also gains the sonic descriptor. Also be sure to have creaking cacophony going in the area you strike. It deafens, removes invulnerability, and adds vulnerability to sonic damage no save.
The ability does seem to stack for spell level so dragon type and an accelerate metamagic or two would increase the additional damage die for each spell level increased.
