Bio:
Composer and violinist Ragnar Rosinkranz was born in Reykjavik , Iceland to a family of artists, authors and performers. 
His father Gudlaugur Rosinkranz was the Director of the National Theatre, and his mother Sigurlaug Rosinkranz a successful opera singer.

Growing up, he and his sister traveled the world following
their mother’s career, and consequently spent their formative years in Iceland ,  Sweden , Germany , Italy and California .  

At age seven, he began violin studies in Stockholm , Sweden with Kalman Olah. In 1980-’82 Rosinkranz attended the Maria Skolan School for Musically Gifted Children, and toured with the Swedish Strangstyrkan Symphony as a soloist and a member.

At 11 years of age, the family moved to California where Rosinkranz continued his music theory and conducting studies at California Institute of the Arts,  joining the Cal Arts Symphony.
He continued playing with multiple orchestras until 2001, when he decided to turn his attention to composing full-time.
                                                                                  
Rosinkranz wrote and produced his first full orchestral film
score in 1996, for the CBS Movie of the Week remake of Jimmy
Stewart’s classic “Harvey”

He went on to score several independent  films, and then in 2001 became a series composer the final three years of the CBS television drama “The District,” starring Craig T. Nelson.

After some time away from film scoring to pursue a personal album project, Rosinkranz continues composing for commercials and independent features, as well as performing live.
