ROSA THEODORA

Rosa Theodora (piano, marimba) – London-based musician, improviser, facilitator, and DJ Rosa Theodora is a versatile performer whose soulful playing spans piano, marimba, synth, bass, and percussion across genres from free improvisation to psych-pop, punk-UKG, and experimental electronics. A recent graduate of SOAS University of London, she has performed at iconic venues like Cafe OTO, collaborated in large ensembles including ONe_Orchestra New (where she contributes keys and rhythmic textures), and appeared on recordings with groups like The Remote Viewers.

Rosa explores prepared piano techniques, digital interventions (such as the “Sabotaging Piano” project), and interdisciplinary constraints in improvisation, often blending acoustic warmth with electronic disruption. She co-founded the marimba duo Existential Dress, infusing punk energy into percussion-driven grooves, and has played synth in bands like Noon Garden and Ello Sun. As a facilitator and thinker, Rosa is passionate about music’s power to disrupt, empower, and transcend boundaries. She also DJs as Pink Butter on Sister Midnight FM and is involved with Outer Circle voices. Rosa brings her inventive keyboard and marimba work—full of rhythmic surprise and emotional depth—to half of ONe_Orchestra New for this evening.
