COMPOSER

“Ruth’s writing is exquisite - its simplicity is profound - she is a true master of writing a great melody, which is so rare today.”

Natalia Raspopova - Conductor

Ruth Roshan has written and recorded four original albums.  The most recent, Suite Noir, features an expansion of her lang standing Tango inspired quintet to chamber orchestra size (Ruth Roshan & Chamber Noir).  Recorded at the ABC’s Iwaki auditorium and with soloists including Amir Farid (piano), Ben Opie (oboe), Sarah Curro (violin), Philip Arkinstall (clarinet) and Phil Carroll (accordion), the album transports listeners through moonlit scenes of waltzes on cobblestones and rain drenched embraces. 

Her music have been used in US TV series’ and film such as Everybody Hates Chris (TV Series with Chris Rock), The Honor List (Film) and Batman franchise, Gotham Knights.

She has written string parts for other artists’ songs, such as for Shane Howard on his re-invention of the 80s hit, Solid Rock Sacred Ground (with William Barton and Emma Donovan) and Lloyd Spiegel for his award winning Tangled Brew album.

Her recent work “You Like It” was nominated for the Marvin Hamlisch international classical composition award (2023).   Her composition, La Malinconia was shorlisted in Madeby competition for the Australian Academy of Dance and she has twice been a finalist in the Victorian Music Awards.
