Rosse has recently performed with the symphony orchestras of Boston, San Francisco, San Diego, Philadelphia, and continues to perform and tour quite often with groups as diverse as the Philadelphia Orchestra to several Sydney-based community brass bands. Rosse can be heard on several major Hollywood and Australian movie & television soundtracks such as the Star Wars "Clone Wars" series , "The Legend of the Guardians", "Australia", "Jumper", "The Beach", and "Mao's Last Dancer" He is currently the host and artistic director of the bi-annual TubaMania International Festivals held in Bangkok, Thailand, (and soon to be also held also in Northern Italy), He is an Artistic Board Member for the prestegious Melbourne International Festival of Brass, held annually in Austrlia.

As a soloist Rosse has performed concertos with professional orchestras on four continents including with most major Australian orchestras (five solo appearances with the Sydney Symphony).
