Born in Wheeling, West Virginia (USA), John Alan Rose has been performing as pianist and composer since the age of 14. Acclaimed European pianist Andreas Haefliger once played from John’s sketchbook and was so taken with his music that he predicted his future as a composer/performer. In November of 2015, John performed his piano concerto with the Moravian Philharmonic in Olomouc, Czech, followed by a collaboration with the same orchestra and the talents of cellist JungWon Choi, violinist Simeon Simeonov, and soprano Sing Rose, narrator Tyler Bunch, and conductor Miran Vaupotic on a major recording project of his four concerti (cello, piano, violin and voice), for release with the Navona Label. His music has also been performed by the Dubrovnik Philharmonic Orchestra, the St. Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra (Russia), and the Lugansk Philharmonic (Ukraine). Guitarist Diego Campagna selected John’s solo guitar piece The Children Are Playing for inclusion on his new guitar cd, featuring the piece as well on his American tour.
In addition to large scale orchestral works, John has also composed a full length opera, major choral work, and many pieces for chamber ensemble and piano solo. At the age of eighteen he played the complete Chopin Etudes in concerts throughout Ohio and West Virginia. He has studied piano at Duquesne University, Indiana University and Baldwin-Wallace University; teachers include David Allen Wehr, Robert Mayerovitch, Dina Khudaiberdieva, Karen Shaw, and Frederic Chiu.
John resides with his family in Ohio and is a member of ASCAP.
Stringendo Magazine (October 2013)
It is an advanced work, with fast passages and lively rhythms ... a valuable addition to the violin and viola duo performance repertoire.
Archi Magazine (luglio-agosto 2013)
... tre brevi quadri musicali di pregevolissima fattura musicale, interamente incentrati su un racconto, una leggenda probabilmente, che potrebbe portare la firma di E.T.A. Hoffman o di Edgar Allan Poe ... Una storia che definire rocambolesca è poco, e che fornisce a Rose lo spunto per intessere tre brevi movimenti di grande ispirazione; il linguaggio è tonale e la composizione alterna momenti di grande ed intenso lirismo ad altri di serrata concitazione contrappuntista e ritmica; ogni singolo episodio della storia è ampiamente riconoscibile all’interno della com- posizione, comunque corredata di spiegazione iniziale; i singoli episodi si succedono, all’interno di ogni movimento, senza soluzione di continuità. Sebbene la scrittura sia molto ricca la difficoltà di esecuzione è abbastanza contenuta ... (S. Genuini)
