Harold Rosenbaum's NYVS offers recording opportunites for composers
My New York Virtuoso Singers is embarking on an exciting new recording initiative: to create professional recordings of outstanding contemporary choral music and bring that music to a wider audience.
For more than five decades, I have been devoted to presenting and recording new music, working with composers from emerging voices to some of the most important composers of our time. The New York Virtuoso Singers has become known for its commitment to adventurous programming, musical excellence, and the discovery and preservation of significant choral repertoire. We would like to invite you to consider having your music become part of this ongoing project.
Why hire us to record your music? A professionally produced recording can give a choral work a life far beyond a single performance. It can:
- Provide a definitive, high-quality performance that you can share with conductors, ensembles, presenters, publishers and educational institutions.
- Make your music accessible to listeners and performers around the world.
- Create a lasting document of your work.
- Help introduce your music to conductors and choirs looking for compelling contemporary repertoire.
- Place your work in the context of a distinguished ensemble with a long history of championing contemporary composers.
Please e-mail me at haroldrosenbaum@gmail.com or call or text me at 914-582-3915 to discuss options and costs.

PlayScore 2 sheet music scanning app
Choirs: let the PlayScore 2 sheet music scanning app teach you your part
The PlayScore 2 app (iOS, Android and Windows) uses advanced Optical Music Recognition to play music notation smoothly and accurately direct from photos, images and PDF scores. PlayScore 2 is widely used by choirs for its ability to generate part-separated practice tracks. These "playable scores" (known as PlayScore ‘Documents’) can be distributed to singers who can play them and interact with the music using just the free version of the app. PlayScore can also export scanned music directly from PlayScore 2 as Full Notation MusicXML into notation software such as Dorico, Sibelius, or MuseScore. For details, visit playscore.co.
"This app is a lifesaver because I can finally practice at home and isolate or combine voice parts and add or omit accompaniment (just like in choral weekly practice). I would not have been able to prepare for a choral concert without this remarkable app." --App Store review
