About
Founded in 1988 by Harold Rosenbaum, The New York Virtuoso Singers (NYVS) has become a leading proponent of complex contemporary choral music in the United States—regularly exceeding its “reputation for peerless preparation, assaying all of the pieces with fortitude and an almost intimidating level of technical skill (Christian Carey, Sequenza21).” While the chorus performs music of all periods, Dr. Rosenbaum commissions, performs, records and premieres the music of today’s most enterprising and rewarded American composers. He is widely regarded as an important exponent of new music.
