Rosalind Page
Rosalind Page is an Australian composer whose works span theatre, chamber music, orchestra and electronica. Her scores often turn on poetry, film and the discourse between sound, image and text.
Rosalind's artistic practice includes her M.A. (Theatre and Film Studies) on the cinema of Yasujirō Ozu, Wim Wenders, and sound/image relationships in the films of Andrei Tarkovsky. Her compositions engage the discourse between sound, image and text, and integrate concepts arising in art and science.
In 2004, Fracture: a noh play for cello and orchestra, an interpretation of Shakespeare's King Lear and Kurosawa's Ran, received a Highly Commended Award in the prestigious Paul Lowin Orchestral Prize. In 2006, Sonetos del Amor Oscuro (MCD 396) won the Paul Lowin Song Cycle Prize.
