Rosalind Acton (Cello) studied with Alexander Baillie at the Hochschule für Kunste, Bremen, moving on to Emmanuel College, Cambridge and the Royal Academy of Music where, funded by a Winifred Disney Award, she studied with Mats Lidström. She won the Montefiore Prize, the Douglas Cameron Award for cello and piano duo, a place on the London Symphony Orchestra string scheme and the Penderecki Prize (2004) at the First International Solo Cello Competition (Katowice, Poland).

As a chamber musician and soloist, Rosalind has performed internationally in France, Germany, Finland and the USA. She is a member of the Wimbledon-based Jigsaw Players and works regularly with Opera Della Luna and Opera East. She also works as a freelance orchestral musician in London and with the Northern Sinfonia in Newcastle, most recently performing on a recording of Mozart Piano Concertos with Imogen Cooper.

Rosalind is currently touring the UK with Opera Della Luna's productions of Die Fledermaus and The Sorcerer. Future plans include a recording of solo cello works and recitals with pianist Rhodri Clarke in London and Den Haag, Holland later in 2010.

She teaches piano and cello at the Gatehouse School in Bethnal Green and coaches young chamber music groups in Wimbledon.
