DESCRIPTION:
Praised for his "excellent" and "precisely attuned" performances by the New York
Times, percussionist Ian David Rosenbaum has developed a musical breadth far
beyond his years. He made his Kennedy Center debut in 2009 and later that year
garnered a special prize created for him at the Salzburg International Marimba
Competition.

Last season, Mr. Rosenbaum joined the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's
CMS Two program as only the second percussionist they have selected in their history.

Mr. Rosenbaum has performed with the acclaimed So Percussion group and has
appeared at the Norfolk, Yellow Barn, Chamber Music Northwest and Music@Menlo
festivals.

Highlights of the 2013-2014 season include a tour of Southern California performing
Christopher Cerrone's Memory Palace, a recital at the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C. and a solo performance on the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's New Music in the Kaplan Penthouse series.

Continuing his passionate advocacy for contemporary music, this season Mr.
Rosenbaum will premiere new works for percussion by Andy Akiho, David Crowell,
Tawnie Olson and Paola Prestini.

Mr. Rosenbaum is a member of Sandbox Percussion, Le Train Bleu, the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble, Novus NY and Time Travelers. He has recorded for the Bridge, Innova and Naxos labels and is on the faculty of the Dwight School in Manhattan. Mr.
Rosenbaum endorses Vic Firth sticks and mallets.
