  • Recognized Among the Premier Current Interpreters of Choral Music, Critically Acclaimed Conductor Harold Rosenbaum Is a Singular Force in Vocal Ensemble Performance
    Recognized among the premier current interpreters of choral music, critically acclaimed conductor Harold Rosenbaum is a singular force in vocal ensemble performance. The award- winning founder and conductor of distinguished professional choir The New York Virtuoso Singers and celebrated volunteer choir The Canticum Novum Singers, Rosenbaum attracts the finest choral talent from New York City and around the country to his world-class productions. Inspiring singers and audiences alike with gripping interpretations of both contemporary and classical compositions, he brings a profound wealth of technical ability and expertise to the creation of rich musical experiences. The New Yorker—lauding The New York Virtuoso Singers—reported, "Mr. Rosenbaum's sixteen singers are virtuosi indeed, masters in a contemporary repertory that, but for them, we would seldom hear," while The New York Times praised him as "an astute programmer with an ear for the unusual" and commended The New York Virtuoso Singers for "an exquisitely blended sound." His book, A Practical Guide to Choral Conducting, has received much critical acclaim. Download Harold Rosenbaum's Press Kit > In 1973 Rosenbaum established The Canticum Novum Singers, one of New York City's premiere volunteer choirs. In its 46-year history CNS has performed over 600 concerts across Europe and the Americas. The New York Times commended The Canticum Novum Singers as an “elite chorus.” From the talented roster of amateur singers who have sung with CNS, over 100 have become professional choristers, soloists, conductors, and composers. CNS has premiered over sixty compositions, including works by Handel, J.C. Bach, Fauré, Bruckner, Harbison, Berio, Schnittke, Rorem, Schickele, Sierra, and Benjamin.
