Concert Presenting
Making music accessible to all people is one of Rosie's passions, especially though presenting and narrating. Here is her work on London Sinfonietta's Composition Challenge
Musical Co-creation
At the heart of Rosie's practice is co-creation. She loves to write new songs and instrumental pieces alongside participants resulting in some fantastically adventurous music.
Here she is in a composition workshop with children at a Secondary School

Recent work has involved: London Rhymes- a Creative Futures project to write songs and instrumental music for parents and their infants.
