Rosa (Franco), (Maria) Clotilde (Belo de Carvalho) was born in Queluz, on 11 May 1930.

She is composer, harpist, teacher, and an important person on divulgation of contemporary music in Portugal.

She has started her Piano studies at age of ten having finished Superior Course by the age of nineteen, in the class of Ivone Santos. She has also started her Harp studies at the age of twelve, which she have finished at eighteen, in the class of Cecília Borba at the "Conservatório Nacional" in Lisbon.

Having decided to dedicate myself to this instrument she held several scholarships; "Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian" and the Dutch Government. Rosa studied with Phia Berghout in Amsterdam, Jacqueline Borot in Paris and Dr. Hans Zingel in Koln.

She was harp soloist in "Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto" and the "Orquestra Sinfónica Nacional" in Lisbon having also regularly collaborated with "Orquestra Gulbenkian" and "Orquestra do Teatro Nacional de S. Carlos".

Meanwhile by 1970 the GMCL (Grupo de Música Contemporânea de Lisboa) was formed. She was one of the founders together with the composer Jorge Peixinho and other musicians. This group performed in Portugal, Europe and Brazil, participating in the most important Contemporary Music Festivals.

As she was present at the Darmstadt Summer Courses for three years and the vast experience as an instrumentalist as well the colaboration in a collective work developed by Jorge Peixinho in the GMCL arose her interest in composition, result of stimulus and assimilated experiences.

In 1976 her work "Encontro" for flute and string quartet was noted in the "Tribune Internationale de Compositeurs" in Paris. She won the first National Contest of Composition of the "Oficina Musical do Porto" with her work "Variantes" for flute solo, "Alternâncias" for flute and Piano represented Portugal in ISMC Festival in Athens - 1979.

Simultaneously to the Harp teaching in "Escola de Música do Conservatório Nacional" at Lisbon she mainly dedicated herself to composition, having more than seventy works composed and performed for solo, chamber music, symphonic orchestra, an opera and a cantata.
