Rosanna Rolton

British/Dutch harpist, Rosanna Rolton, was unanimously awarded 1st prize in the Suoni d’Arpa International Harp Competition 2014 and made her London solo debut in the Royal Festival Hall at the age of 20. Highlights of her recent solo engagements include the Wigmore Hall, Three Choirs Festival, the Royal Festival Hall, St. Martin in the Fields and BBC2-Encore. A frequent guest at music festivals and music clubs throughout the country, her solo recitals have also taken her abroad – most recently to Italy and Belgium. Rosanna’s debut CD was released in 2022 under the Italian Tactus label.

Alongside her solo career, Rosanna works with the Budapest Festival Orchestra performing under conductors such as Iván Fischer and Marin Alsop, and playing in some of the world’s leading concert venues. She is also Guest Principal Harpist of the London Mozart Players, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Aarhus Symfoniorkester in Denmark, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group and London Concertante. 

Much in demand as a chamber musician, Rosanna has most recently performed in Budapest and Ankara, playing Ravel’s sublime Introduction and Allegro.

She is co-Director of the Kidbrooke Park Music Festival – an annual classical music festival held in Sussex, and when not playing harp she can be found sketching or driving a tractor on the South Downs.
