Pulitzer Prize Premieres on Sounds Choral

Sounds Choral this Sunday (2/15 at 2 pm) features works written for the New York Virtuoso Singers.

Host Harold Rosenbaum shares recordings from a 2013 performance of works commissioned by his New York Virtuoso Singers from Pulitzer Prize-winning composers, including David Del Tredici, Shulamit Ran and David Lang.

This program will be rebroadcast Tuesday (2/17) at 3 pm.

Recognized among the premier current interpreters of choral music, 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, 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.” 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, ” while The ASCAP Foundation writes, “Harold Rosenbaum has earned a significant place in the music life of New York and beyond as one of the most accomplished, versatile and critically-acclaimed choral conductors of our time .” Visit him at https://www.haroldrosenbaum.com/.
