Rosemary Schonfeld was born in Wales and grew up in Toronto. She is a singer-songwriter-guitarist-poet-composer-percussionist-author. In the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s she was one half of OVA, the women’s band who recorded four albums, toured internationally and co-founded a recording studio in London to train women and girls in sound engineering, and where OVA also ran music workshops. After leaving London in 1989 to study Composition at Dartington College of Arts, she remained based in Devon. She created the teaching package for percussionists, ‘Drumātrix’, published an illustrated book of poetry ‘Standing on Your Head’ and continued to run music workshops in the UK and Germany. In 2018 her book ‘Finding Relly – my family, the Holocaust and me’ was published, and she gives talks about her family history for groups and in schools. She continues to write, perform and record music as a solo artist.
The next steps for Sandy and Jean is to see it performed on stage. If you are a theatre director or theatre group that is interested, please get in touch for a chat.
