GUT

'Bach’s music is often described as being, in essence, about dance. You only had to watch the double bass player, Rosie Moon, so free and expressive...to understand what is meant.' 

- Fiona Maddocks, The Observer


Working as a musician with historically informed instruments has led Rosie to playing bass violin, violone in G and 16-foot (double) bass for a variety of concerts and ensembles.


As a soloist, she has performed live on Radio 3's 'In Tune' with Sean Rafferty where she played two of Dragonetti's 12 waltzs and subsequently performed all 12 in a recital for JAM on the Marsh Festival in 2024. She will play the same programme in October '24 at the Painted Church, Cambridge, and performed the waltzes at the Swedish Church in 2023.  


Rosie was principal bass for Monteverdi's Choir and Orchestras English Baroque Soloists in December 2024 under Christophe Rousset, and is touring with the orchestras Révolutionnaire et Romantique and English Baroque Soloists throughout 2025, both as a principal and tutti player. 


She is currently a principal continuo player (on violone in G and double bass) for the Oxford Bach Soloists; an ensemble which focuses on J.S. Bach and his contemporaries. The group released their first CD in 2024 and has received 5* reviews for their 'virile, collegiate approach to Bach'.


As a regular performer with Florilegium, she has recorded Bach’s complete Brandenburg Concertos live on BBC Radio 3 at the York Early Music Festival, performed at Wigmore Hall and recorded Haydn’s symphonies, Le Matin, Le Midi and Le Soir as soloist. In 2022 and 2024, Rosie recorded flute concertos with Ashley Solomon and the ensemble on original instruments with Channel Classics. 


 'Vivaldi's energy is all his own from the start, with one double bass (the magnificent Rosie Moon) underpinning all the tempests and fires of the heart.'

- David Nice, The Arts Desk


Rosie has played at many festivals in the UK and Europe including English Haydn Festival, Festival Bach de Lausanne, Stour, Valletta Baroque Festival and Brighton Early Music Festival with Dame Emma Kirkby, Flauguissmo Duo and Consone Quartet. As a continuo player she has worked with David Hill, Richard Egarr, Laurence Cummings, Steven Devine (performing on basse de violon for Purcell's Dido and Aeneas) and Pavlo Besnosiuk (on violone for Corelli's violin sonatas). She was part of The London Handel Festival's 'The Realms of Sorrow' in 2023 which was directed by Adele Thomas which received critical acclaim. 


'The double bassist was within arm's reach as she despatched Handel's tempestuous figuration with historically informed panache. The proximity was thrilling.'

- Flora Wilson, The Guardian


Rosie has performed with The Gabrieli Consort and Players, and La Nuova Musica (both as principal and tutti), Opera Settecento and The Feinstein Ensemble.

 She has been invited to play with The Sixteen, The King’s Consort and The Hanover Band.


In 2019 she toured Vivaldi’s ‘Griselda’ and in 2024 'L'Olimpiade' (nominated for an Olivier Award 2025)  with Irish National Opera and Irish Baroque Orchestra under the direction of Peter Whelan.

 

'Rosie Moon (was) an ever-present powerhouse pulling the shape-shifting ensemble forward like an irresistible current.' 

- Richard Powell, York Press


During her Masters at Geneva Conservatoire she participated in The Orchestra Of The Age Of Enlightenment’s scheme. Rosie studied the bass with Peter Buckoke during her undergraduate at The Royal College of Music.

Elle travaille alors avec ‘The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’, ‘Gabrieli Consort and Players’ et 'Oxford Bach Soloists', dans tout le Royaume-Uni, et revient toujours jouer avec 'Florilegium’. 


Elle a joué avec ‘The International Baroque Players’ et est apparue sur la BBC radio 3 avec l’ensemble et Dame Emma Kirkby et Johannes Pramsohler.
