Rosie Rogers

Rosie Rogers was born and raised in Oregon, where she learned piano from her mom, Angèle. She began playing the bassoon under the tutelage of Lyle Dockendorff and Evan Kuhlmann and soon discovered a love for orchestra and chamber music. Rosie moved to Washington to study with Francine Peterson at the University of Puget Sound, where she earned a Bachelor of Music in bassoon performance. She then completed her Master’s degree at Lynn Conservatory studying with Whitney Crockett.

Rosie performs regularly with groups around the Puget Sound including Symphony Tacoma, where she is currently acting second bassoon, Northwest Sinfonietta, and Rainier Symphony, where she appeared as a soloist in February 2026. Previously, she served as acting principal bassoon for a season with the Orquesta Sinfónica del Estado de México (OSEM) in Toluca. She has also reviewed opera as a freelance critic for Palm Beach Arts Paper and Bachtrack.

Rosie can most often be found at her local public library, where she works as a library assistant, at home watching reality TV and making reeds, and taking long walks around Tacoma with an audiobook.
