She was a prize winner/finalist in the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition, the 6th International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians, the International Debussy Competition at the Salzburg Mozarteum and the 2017 1st Berliner International Music Competition.

Engagements this season include a worldwide recital tour involving concerts in the UK, USA, Taiwan, Guangzhou (China), Singapore, and her Tokyo debut at Suntory Hall in Japan. Born in Taiwan, Rose moved to Singapore at 14 years of age, where she was admitted to the Bachelor's programme at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, National University of Singapore, studying with Qian Zhou. She subsequently moved to London to study with David Takeno at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She is currently pursuing a PhD at the Royal Academy of Music.
