Welcome to the website for composer Laura Rossi.

'Extremely accomplished music'
The Independent.

'a new music score by Laura Rossi, brilliantly effective'
The Times.

'You cannot deny the power of this score; Laura Rossi very adeptly creates an emotional picture through impressive orchestral writing which is at once colourful, honourable, celebratory and moving.
Michael Beek, Music from the Movies

'Rossi's masterful knowledge of orchestration is evident from the very start of the CD, never allowing for a dull moment in the music. Her orchestrations are on par with those of the great Hollywood composers. This is a truly breathtaking score that will positively influence other young composers. Incredibly well written and performed, Rossi's score for The Battle of the Somme was among the best of 2008.'
