Rosamund Plummer - Piccolo
Rosamund, winner of the Sixth National Flute Competition in 1986, is currently Principal Piccolo with the Sydney Symphony. She began her studies at the Conservatorium High School in Sydney where she studied with Peter Richardson and Margaret Crawford. In 1978 Rosamund was appointed Principal Piccolo with the Elizabethan Melbourne Orchestra (now the State Orchestra of Victoria) and, a year later, Associate Principal Flute. During her stay in Melbourne, Rosamund took a year’s leave to study in London with Peter Lloyd of the London Symphony Orchestra and William Bennett of the English Chamber Orchestra. After travelling to the USA to perform in the master classes of James Galway and Louis Moyse, Rosamund was appointed to her current position in 1986. In 1999, a recipient of a Friends of the Sydney Symphony scholarship, Rosamund completed five weeks of study in Chicago with Walfrid Kujala, Principal Piccolo with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Rosamund also combines her work as a part-time lecturer in Flute at the Conservatorium of Music with a busy family life with her husband and two children.
