Composer
Film & Visual Media | Concert Works
Award-winning composer and virtuoso pianist Wan Rosalind Wong is the consummate renaissance woman. As a versatile composer, her compositions have appeared in both classical and commercial settings. She is the first prize winner of RecChange's 2021 international film scoring competition. After graduating with her doctorate in piano performance, Dr. Wong studied composition under the guidance of Grammy-Award winning composer Richard Danielpour. As a Women In Animation (WIA) mentorship circle mentee, Rosalind received mentorship and training from Catherine Joy. Since recently joining the music industry as a media composer, she has completed more than ten projects in video game animations, short films, and commercials-- some of which have garnered a cult following on YouTube. As an avid new music creator and performer, she had an East Coast premiere of a commissioned piece for Horn and Piano, SPIRES THAT SOAR, RIVULETS THAT RUN (2022) in Baltimore with Dr. Rachel O'Connor, and performed Unsuk Chin's SUBITO CON FORZA (2020) as well as Benjamin Britten's WAR REQUIEM (1961-62) at the Walt Disney Hall with AYS.
Her interest in story-telling and film media drew her to the accomplishment of triple bachelors of art in music, English (emphasis on screenwriting), and communication studies. She studied post-production sound with Skywalker Sound's Alyssa Nevarez.
