She appears frequently with orchestra, making her debut aged 13 in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She has performed with the BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by Barry Wordsworth and was broadcasted twice on Radio 3. As a result of winning the PianoTexas Festival concerto competition, she performed with the Fort Worth Symphony. In 2023, she performed Saint Saens ‘Carnival of the Animals’ in the Bridgewater Hall with the Hallé orchestra. In September 2024, Rose performed alongside Jean-Efflam Bavouzet and Andrea Nemecz in Mozart’s triple piano concerto, with the Manchester Camerata conducted by Gábor Takács-Nagy. This was broadcast on BBCR3 and will be released on the Chandos Label.
Rose has already had considerable successes in national and international competitions; she was the overall winner of the 2016 Scottish International Youth Prize at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. In 2018 Rose won the Chopin and Beethoven prizes at Chetham’s and in 2019 she was overall winner of the junior intercollegiate Beethoven Piano Society of Europe competition.

In 2023, in collaboration with EVC Music Publications, a new anthology ‘22 nocturnes for Chopin’ which commissioned 22 female composers to write pieces inspired by Chopin was released. Since the launch at Steinway Hall, it has been played over the world, with its recent complete performance by Rose at King’s Place as part of the London Piano Festival 2024.
