Performing

Live Music. Film. Feeling.

I create unforgettable live performances where music, film and storytelling come together to move people.

Using moody vocals, looped and effected flute, omnichord, electronics and immersive visuals, I craft rich, emotionally resonant experiences that linger long after the final note. My shows bridge sound and story - offering audiences a rare kind of connection: intimate, cinematic and deeply human.

Rooted in themes of people, place and the human experience, my work invites reflection on memory, milestones and what matters most.

Each performance is uniquely curated and shaped through collaborations with filmmakers and musicians across Canada, the U.S., South America, Europe and Scandinavia.

Whether I’m performing at a festival, theatre, museum, school, conference, house concert, or multi-arts space, I aim to create something that feels personal, powerful, and impossible to forget.

What You Can Expect:

  • A moving, multi-sensory live performance

  • Original music paired with evocative film

  • Engaged, emotionally connected audiences

  • A collaborative, professional working experience

  • Optional artist talks, Q&As or workshops

  • A standout offering for music, film or educational arts programming

I’m currently booking for 2026-2027: festivals, residencies, interdisciplinary programs, conferences, schools and cultural events.

If you’re a presenter, curator, or programmer looking to bring something truly unique to your audience, I’d love to connect.

Live Projects

  • Coming Soon!

    Now booking performance opportunities in theatres, festivals, conferences, and schools for 2026/27.

    A powerful live music, storytelling and cinema experience featuring Newfoundland’s multi award-winning artist, Rozalind MacPhail.

    PUSH & PULL was born out of MacPhail’s Digital Arts Residency with Unscripted Twillingate: Digital Arts Festival, where she connected deeply with the oral traditions of the region. Through conversations with local residents, she witnessed how stories, history, and memory are passed from one generation to the next.

    Motivated by a sense of urgency to preserve these voices, she began documenting them through song and film. Using the lens of a singer-songwriter, she brings these stories to life - placing them at the heart of each performance, where live music and cinema meet in an unforgettable celebration of community, memory, and place.

    Mode: In-person
    Length: 90 minutes

  • ✨ A 45-minute keynote and audiovisual performance by Rozalind MacPhail

    ✨ Available in-person or virtually

    Join multi award-winning recording and touring artist, inspirational speaker, and innovative Canadian performer Rozalind MacPhail - proudly sponsored by Di Zhao Flutes - for an inspiring and interactive 45-minute keynote experience.

    In this engaging session, Rozalind shares her personal journey, from being bullied in school to flunking out of her master’s program and how these pivotal challenges became unlikely stepping stones to a creative life beyond her wildest dreams.

    Instead of following the traditional path of an orchestral soloist, Rozalind found her calling as a one-woman orchestra - performing original live music to film around the world. Through story, sound and visuals, she invites participants into a vulnerable and uplifting reflection on how rejection can become a catalyst for clarity, creativity, and resilience.

    Attendees will walk away with:

    • Practical strategies for reframing rejection

    • Tools for cultivating creative courage and self-trust

    • A renewed sense of purpose and personal empowerment

    YES LIVES IN THE LAND OF NO is perfect for conferences, festivals, schools and organizations seeking a meaningful and memorable keynote that blends storytelling, performance and powerful takeaways.

  • INSPIRATION SOUP

    Inspiration Soup is a dynamic keynote concert blending live music, contemporary silent film and inspirational storytelling. Designed to spark creativity, collaboration and compassionate communication, this interactive experience invites participants into a space of reflection, connection and imagination.

    As an award-winning performer, coach, music educator and artist advocate, I guide participants through powerful insights on creative flow, resilience, and empathetic leadership - sharing tips and tools gathered from a lifetime of persistence, reinvention, and saying “yes” even when the road looked uncertain.

    This keynote is a perfect fit for wellness events, leadership gatherings, education conferences and creative industries seeking a fresh, emotionally resonant experience that moves both heart and mind.

    Inspiration Soup was developed through the Business and Arts NL Creative Edge program and has been featured at CB Nuit, Positive Thinkers Club NL, MusicNL Week and the Unscripted Twillingate Digital Arts Festival.

    Whether shortened for a conference setting or expanded for an arts-focused event, the format is fully customizable to fit your audience and your goals.

The Gaze -
Live in Halifax

Of the film, Shona Thomson says “The Gaze” is an experimental film inspired by a 1947 civic film I found during an artist residency at Cucalorus Film Festival in Wilmington, North Carolina. Fascinated by reactions to the camera, I picked out every moment a citizen gazes directly at us.”
