Tomer Rozen (born 1999) is a composer of operatic and concert music, a harpsichordist and a pianist. Recent activities include composition of a chamber and an orchestral piece commissioned by the Atlantic Music Festival (USA) and composition and solo performance of a piano concerto movement commissioned by the Sounds in the Desert Festival (Israel). In 2022 Tomer wrote, composed, and produced an hour-long musical play that aired twice in Tel Aviv. The play is a dark-comic parody on classical music competitions, and is now being developed to a chamber opera. In 2019 his orchestral piece was performed in a concert tour by the Israel Netanya - Kibbutz Orchestra. Tomer's music has been performed by professional orchestras and chamber ensembles, and broadcasted in the Kan Kol Hamusica radio station. He won competitions and awards, and has been supported by the Ronen Foundation since 2022. Tomer holds a BM composition degree from Tel Aviv University and is studying towards a MM composition degree at the New England Conservatory.
My relationship to Ronen Foundation
In the summer of 2022, I wrote and composed a musical play that aired in Tel Aviv University. The production included 15 performers, and I needed financial assistance in order to make it all happen. I reached out to Yaffa to ask for a donation, but found a friend - after a long conversation about music education, aesthetics, and philosophy I became a member of the Ronen Foundation community. Today, the generous donations of the Ronen Foundation help me pay tuition fees for my studies at the US. Being a part of the Ronen Foundation Family is not just receiving support. It is belonging to a creative community, that creates an inner artistic dialogue, and is a positive influence on the greater community through community and service and music.
