ROSIE CLIFFORD has lived in Chipperfield for her whole life and attended Haberdashers’ Aske’s School for Girls, where she was awarded a music exhibition in the senior school with oboe, piano, organ and singing. She played an active part in many of the school’s musical ensembles, including the St Catherine Singers – the school chamber choir which was named the BBC Radio 3 Youth Choir of the Year 2005.
Currently in her third year reading English at Bristol University, Rosie studies singing with Angela Hickey and is an active member of the musical life of the university, where she is the recipient of an Alumni Foundation Music Bursary. She is a member of and soloist with the University Singers as well as 1st oboe with the university Symphony Orchestra, and this year is vice president of the Bristol University Operatic Society. She has enjoyed several dramatic roles, including Eliza in My Fair Lady and Phyllis in Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe, and in February will be singing the part of the Countess in the university production of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro.
Back at home, Rosie is a regular member of the St Paul’s Church choir, and a member of and soloist with the Hampstead Singers. In her holidays she also sings with the Chipperfield Choral Society, with which she has several personal connections: her mother, aunt and grandmother are all choir members, and for ten years she studied the oboe with Delia Meehan. As well as singing, Rosie enjoys reading, horse riding and ballroom dancing.
