Born into a family of musicians, Rose began piano lessons with her father and later continued at Chetham’s School of Music and the Royal Northern College of Music, studying with Helen Krizos. She has performed in venues over the UK, including the Bridgewater Hall, the Stoller Hall and St-Martin-in-the-Fields. She has appeared as a soloist with orchestra on numerous occasions, including with the BBC Concert Orchestra and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra.

For us she will play:

• Beethoven – Sonata No.5 in C minor, Op. 10 No. 1
• Schumann – Davidsbündlertanze
• From Nocturnes for Chopin book :
  1. Katie Jenkins – Nocturne Cerddorieth i Bronwyn
  2. Olga Berman – Nocturne Elegy
  3. Charlotte Botterill – Nocturne Waves Collide with the Precipice
• Chopin – Sonata No.3 in B minor, Op.58

Our piano, a fine 2015 Hamburg Steinway Model B Grand, chosen for us by Ulrich Gerhartz, Steinway’s Head of Artist & Concert Services, is maintained by Steinways and tuned by them immediately before each performance.

After the concert we offer a delicious buffet tea of freshly-made sandwiches, savouries, homemade cakes and chocolate biscuits, with a choice of a glass of excellent wine, tea, coffee or juice. The artists usually attend the tea and you can meet them. Tea tickets are sold on the door. They are £10 (standard), £5 for students and schoolchildren. We can cater for up to 70.
