Composer and writer Dr Rósa Lind Page creates music that moves seamlessly between acoustic and electronic realms, mapping poetic dramaturgical interconnections across sound, image, astronomy, physiology and text.
Rósa Lind studied composition at Sydney Conservatorium of Music
with further studies in North America, graduating with a B.A.
(Mus) Summa cum laude from the University of Delaware, USA. Upon
returning to Australia, Rósalind undertook a Master of Arts
(Theatre and Film Studies) at UNSW, researching sound and image
relationships in the films of Andrei Tarkovsky and Wim Wenders.
In 2006, she completed her PhD in Composition with Ross Edwards
at the University of Sydney, where prior to her composing career,
she graduated with a BVSc in Veterinary Science.
In 2006, Rósa Lind's acclaimed song cycle Sonetos del Amor Oscuro
(2004), setting texts in Spanish by Federico García Lorca, was
awarded the Paul Lowin Song Cycle Prize. Her cello concerto
FRACTURE (2004) - an interpretation of Shakespeare's King Lear
and Akira Kurosawa's RAN, received a Highly Commended Award in
the 2004 Paul Lowin Orchestral Prize.
Merging her aesthetic of interconnectedness, Rósa Lind's solo and
