Benita Rose:

World renowned concert pianist Benita Rose just returned from her fourth tour, having performed in Norway, Latvia, England, Spain, France, Canada, China, and South America.

She has performed twice in Carnegie Hall within a half year’s time, and also at the Palau de Música Catalana in Barcelona.

In 2024, she performed in New York City twelve times, including at Klavierhaus and at the Tenri Cultural Institute. This year she has performed in Spain five times and has been invited back to present at the international piano conference hosted by EPTA in Madrid in November of this year.

Ms. Rose was a recent guest on the “Inspired Lives” radio program, airing out of Ireland, as well as other podcasts. Her recent CD featuring the music of living composer Marcos Fernández-Barrero, has aired on radio stations in England. New York music critic Jed Distler has described her live performance of this music as “absolutely gorgeous playing; beautiful music, beautifully played.”

Her lecture-recitals on the interpretation and performance of the Fernández-Barrero works are available through “From the Artist’s Bench” video series by subscription through NCKP.

In 2021-2022 Ms. Rose performed five different concertos in one season with various Arizona ensembles.

Ms. Rose has received glowing reviews for her Chopin playing from Pianist magazine. She was also the featured cover pianist of all their social media.

Ms. Rose was the first pianist in the history of the World Saxophone Congress to be invited to give a lecture recital in Harbin, China, from the perspective of a pianist, in July 2025. She has been half of the Rose-Gibbs Duo, garnering international acclaim through competition and performance.

Ms. Rose’s performance of the Gershwin Concerto in F was heard on over 200 radio stations on Martin Goldsmith’s “Performance Today.”

Ms. Rose’s most recent projects include championing living composers as well as a new CD featuring Beethoven’s Op.109 Sonata, Bach-Busoni Chaconne, Chopin Ballade No.3, select Chopin études, and Liszt “Un Sospiro.”

As a child and young adult, Ms. Rose suffered from selective mutism, a crippling social anxiety which prevents those afflicted from speaking. This enhanced her ability to express herself through the piano. After such a setback, she has now been described as “unstoppable!”

Ms. Rose has won countless international solo piano competitions and is a former college professor of piano. Her pedagogical lineage can be traced to Beethoven, Czerny, and Liszt.

She holds a Master of Music degree from the Hartt School, and was a student of Louis Crowder, Joseph Villa, and Luiz de Moura Castro. Other teachers have included Ilana Vered, Menahem Pressler, Irma Vallecillo, Alan Fraser, Paul Rutman, David Westfall, Raymond Lewenthal, Nina Svetlanova, and Emmanuel Ax."
