This interaction challenges students to approach their pieces in new and critical ways\, resulting in inspiring and enlightening performances. Yet the impact extends beyond those on stage—all attendees can learn by observing the creative process firsthand.

He joined the New England Conservatory faculty in 1967\, where he taught for 53 years and chaired the piano and chamber music departments. He has established himself as one of the most respected figures in classical piano. \nHis performances have earned consistent critical acclaim\, from his Boston debut to his most recent recordings. MusicWeb International praised his 2020 Brahms CD as “magisterial\,” while American Record Guide named his Beethoven recordings among the top classical recordings of 2020. \nRosenbaum has performed extensively as both soloist and chamber musician throughout the United States\, Europe\, Asia\, and Russia\, appearing in prestigious venues such as New York’s Tully Hall and St. Petersburg’s Hermitage. He has collaborated with renowned artists including Leonard Rose\, Paul Katz\, and members of the Brentano\, Borromeo\, and Cleveland String Quartets. \nAs an educator\, he has taught at major institutions worldwide\, including the Juilliard School\, Eastman School of Music\, and leading conservatories in London\, Moscow\, Beijing\, and Tokyo. His students have won top prizes in major international competitions. From 1985 to 2001\, as Director and President of the Longy School of Music\, he transformed it into a degree-granting conservatory while maintaining its community music school status. \nCurrently\, Rosenbaum continues to perform and teach internationally\, recently being appointed Visiting Professor at the National Taiwan Normal University. \nView flyer here. \n
