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. Since then, she has scored numerous short films for passionate story-tellers. This June, "Dirty Towel", a short film by director Callie Carpinteri, will be featured as an official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival. Rosalind's original music can be heard in theaters AMC 19th St. East 6 as well as the Village East by Angelika. 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.​ 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, and communication studies. She studied post-production sound with Skywalker Sound's Alyssa Nevarez.
