The Harold Rosenbaum Choral Conducting Institute announces its 2015 Workshop at Brooklyn College July 27-29, 2015 (3-Day Workshop) The Harold Rosenbaum Choral Conducting Institute includes rehearsal and performance conducting opportunities, one-on-one instruction and individual guidance. “Rosenbaum is not just an expert music director but a bracing programmer.” THE NEW YORK TIMES “Dr. Rosenbaum ... channels his over 40 years of experience very well with thorough interpretations of music and with humor.” DR. HYEKYUNG PARK Rosenbaum conducting Haydn’s The Creation at Carnegie Hall. THE HAROLD ROSENBAUM CHORAL CONDUCTING INSTITUTE ABOUT THE WORKSHOP ••• “Harold Rosenbaum had the female members of the chorus sounding seductive, the men … and the entire chorus sounding so in tune we almost missed that acceptably imperfect phenomenon called choral tone.” This three-day workshop is open to choral conductors, organists, music teachers, and those wishing to enhance their careers, expand their contacts and have an intensive experience with Dr. Harold Rosenbaum, one of the world’s leading choral conductors. Rosenbaum has conducted over 1700 concerts during his 40+ year career. NEW MUSIC CONNOISSEUR The Institute is limiting enrollment to 12 conductors so each participant will receive close attention and hands-on guidance. Each attendee will receive a 30-minute private lesson, plus opportunities to rehearse the choir comprised of the participants and others, with constructive feedback by Rosenbaum. ••• He has conducted and taught at the Juilliard School, Queens College and Adelphi University, and is currently Associate Professor and Director of Choirs at the University at Buffalo. For Rosenbaum’s full bio visit nyvirtuoso.org/maestro.html In addition there will be discussions devoted to topics such as the study of scores and discussions about interpretation, diction and performance practice, plus the business of running a choral organization, including forming a board of directors, fundraising, marketing, public relations and grant-writing. Other topics include when to use a baton, when to conduct recitatives, how to run rehearsals from the keyboard, singing expressively, working with soloists, how to interpret staccatos, tenutos, choral crescendos, grace notes and glissandos, the placement of singers and piano in performance, and much more. ••• “New York’s outstanding concert choir.” At the end of the workshop there will be an informal performance by the choir with each of the participants conducting. THE NEW YORK TIMES ON THE NEW YORK VIRTUOSO SINGERS ••• Rosenbaum leads The New York Virtuoso Singers in a multimedia presentation. THE HAROLD ROSENBAUM CHORAL CONDUCTING INSTITUTE WORKSHOP SCHEDULE ••• ‘The proof is in the recording. ‘25 x 25,’ a new twodisc set compiling their anniversary commissions, is a dazzling little jewelbox of choral writing that demonstrates the ensemble’s willingness to live up to their name. These composers have come up with 25 different approaches towards the process of writing for the human voice, and the results are 25 different examples of choral virtuosity.” WQXR ON NYVS’ 25TH ANNIVERSARY CDS ••• Sessions will go from approximately 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Each day includes a break for lunch.

THE HAROLD ROSENBAUM CHORAL CONDUCTING INSTITUTE TESTIMONIALS My experience at Harold’s Institute was life-changing. I have grown so much confidence as a conductor. He has a wealth of knowledge and is willing to go above and beyond to meet each person’s educational needs. Harold was able to bring out the best conducting in all of us. I am so grateful for my experience at the institute. — Ellice Amendolare High School Choral Teacher The Harold Rosenbaum Choral Conducting Institute is hands down the best professional development I have ever attended. Within minutes, Dr. Rosenbaum addressed bad conducting habits, and provided practical solutions. By the end of the week, I was using more clear, expressive gestures. He combines a wealth of knowledge with humor and humility, creating a spectacular experience for everyone involved! — Christopher DeVries, Choral Instructor at St. Francis High School You’ll learn Dr. Rosenbaum’s highly technical and efficient methods in a short time while he offers a welcoming and humorous environment for all. He teaches important fundamentals and skills that are timeless. He selects gorgeous and masterful repertoire that will inspire your hearts throughout the session. — Grace Choi Harold Rosenbaum is extremely detailed and attentive in giving suggestions to improve one’s conducting. His comments are all very clear and helpful, and I feel that I gained a lot by participating in his choral conducting institute. As an added bonus, he is also very engaging. Highly recommended! — Anna Volodarskaya, University of Wisconsin-Madison It was a fantastic experience. You are truly a master instructor as well as a conductor. — Jeanne Suski The Choral Conducting Institute was awesome ... The fact that people ranging from 19 to 61 years old are still trying to improve taught me that music-making is about striving for perfection. And seeing the different ways that people interpret a piece of music has shown me how there is a never-ending possibility for fun. — Noah Li, student Thank you so much for this week’s comprehensive and stimulating conducting course; its quality repertoire and helpful seminar interaction were exactly what I had hoped to encounter, and I benefited greatly from your clear and helpful technical and artistic advice. I look forward to enrolling in your Institute next year! --Jerry Rich The New York Virtuoso Singers presented its 25th Anniversary Season in Merkin Hall at the Kaufman Center, NYC HRCCI BROOKLYN COLLEGE 2015 SIGN-UP FORM Please complete all fields of the following form and return by email to [email protected] or by mail to HRCCI, 2 Cove Road, South Salem NY 10590.
