Rosamund Ender

Cellist

Rosamund obtained her BMus from the University of Stellenbosch, where she studied under Magdalena Roux. During her studies she played with professional orchestras like the CPO and the KZNPO on a regular basis as an ad hoc player. Her studies next took her to Switzerland where she studied in the class of Prof. Roel Dieltiens.

She obtained a Masters in Music Pedagogy, as well as a Masters in Transdisciplinary Studies from the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste. She was very active as a teacher in St. Gallen, Appenzell, and Zürich, and as a performer all around Switzerland. She was co-principal cellist with the Zürcher Kammerphilharmonie for six years.

During the Covid pandemic, she started playing the viola da gamba after discovering a great passion for early music, and took private lessons with Paolo Pandolfo in Basel. In 2022 she returned to Cape Town to play full time with the CPO, and to focus on a career as a performer on the cello, the baroque cello, and the viola da gamba.
