The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly – Behind the Classical Music Scenes

The final product is divine, and the audience walks away deeply satisfied.  However, behind the scenes, what do you think goes on in the lives of singers, players, conductors, managers, coaches, concert hall staff and publicists in the weeks and months leading up to the concert? It is far from smooth sailing. The answers will surprise and intrigue you.

This “insider’s view” will be presented by Dr. Harold Rosenbaum, the award-winning founder and conductor of the distinguished professional choir The New York Virtuoso Singers and celebrated volunteer choir The Canticum Novum Singers.  The choirs have performed many times on Lincoln Center’s Great Performers Series and in concerts with notables including James Galway, Tony Bennett, Licia Albanese, Marianne Faithful and The Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society.  Over the years, Rosenbaum has collaborated with hundreds of notable contemporary composers, with highlights including concerts with the legendary Oscar-winning film composer Ennio Morricone.

Harold is also involved with the “Sounds Choral” listening program on www.wwfm.org. His first show happens to premiere on Sunday, October 5 at 2 pm – right before his Library presentation! Feel free to stream it and ask him questions.
