Rosanne HUNT
violoncello

Rosanne Hunt began cello studies with her mother, Marianne HUNT, and continued with Christian WOJTOWICZ in Hobart, Anner BIJLSMA in The Hague, and -- with the help of an Ian Potter Foundation grant -- with Irene SHARP in San Francisco.

Her eclectic freelance life takes her from early music projects with the period instrument ensemble Arcadia, to new music with the ELISION Ensemble, chamber operas with Melbourne's Chamber Made Opera, and contemporary indigenous music with Richard FRANKLAND's The Charcoal Club.

She has played with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, provided continuo cello in Mozart and Handel operas for Opera Australia, and played in the principal cello chair for the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony, Australian Pops Orchestra and Orchestra Victoria.

She recently took part in the recording of new chamber works by Brian FERNEYHOUGH with ELISION, and in January played in the Sydney Festival's twelve cello concert, 12 Angry Cellos.

Upcoming engagements include the performance of a new solo cello work by Liza LIM alongside the work of urban indigenous visual artist Judy WATSON in a project inspired by the Glasshouse Mountains, and an ABC Classics recording of Biber's Mystery Sonatas with Elizabeth WALLFISCH.
