Johanna Rose is widely regarded as one of the most promising viola da gamba players of her generation (El Español). Praised as “an incredibly versatile musician” (Ö1), critics write that her playing “can be wonderfully addictive” (Fonoforum) and that she “casts a spell with sound and warmth” (Muziekpodium). Having performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages—including the Konzerthaus Vienna, Laeiszhalle and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Teatros del Canal and Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, the Gran Teatro de Bogotá, the Quirinale in Rome, Teatro Ponchielli in Cremona, Zaryadye Hall in Moscow, and the Topkapı Palace in Istanbul—Rose has drawn sustained international attention for her virtuosity and sensitivity. “Her interpretation is characterized by great technique, but above all by a degree of musicality in no way inferior to the great masters of older generations,” writes Klassik Radio Vienna. She appears as a soloist in the ARD Mediathek.and her concerts have been broadcast live by Radio Nacional de España, RAI 3, WDR 3, Bayerischer Rundfunk, Ö1, and SWR.
