Rosalind Ventris is a distinguished violist known for her deft interpretations and commitment to expanding the viola's repertoire, especially through the celebration and promotion of compositions by women. A trailblazer on her instrument, Ventris has not only earned a reputation as a solo performer of exceptional depth and sensitivity but also as a thoughtful collaborator in chamber music settings and orchestral work. Her artistry is marked by a poignant expressiveness and technical finesse, qualities that shine through her focused recordings and recitals.

Among her recent contributions to the world of classical music is the album "Sola: Music for Viola by Women Composers," which showcases her passion for bringing to light lesser-known works and supporting gender diversity in the classical repertoire. This album is a testament to her curatorial insight and virtuosity. Ventris's performance of "Five Sketches: III. Andantino" exemplifies her lyrical phrasing and ability to convey a broad spectrum of emotions within a condensed musical form. Her rendering of "Kaprys Polski" further illustrates her versatility and the ease with which she navigates different stylistic terrains, from the traditional to the contemporary, always with compelling artistry.
