When
not serving as vocalist, bone “virtuoso”, and song arranger
or bone clacker with CF,
Andy Rosenfeld teaches at Mount St. Mary’s University, where he
directs the
Chorale and Seminary Choir and teaches courses in music and in the
humanities.
In addition to the Mount Chorale, which recently toured Spain, he has
directed
choirs at Ashland University (Ohio) and St. Lawrence University (New
York).
He
also spends his spare time as music director of Capital Opera
Harrisburg and as a
member of the Gettysburg Schola Cantorum, directed by our own
sqeezeboxer, Stephen Folkemer,
artistic director, which premiered his “Psalm 23”, a work
appearing on
the upcoming compact disc, Voices of Hope and Comfort. When
not
clacking
bones or teaching, Rosenfeld can also occasionally be spotted playing
piano
with the Fire City Jazz Band and Apple Museum Big Band. Most recently,
he has turned his attention to the study of ancient and traditional
music
of Spain, has
led him on several occasions to that country’s Sierra Nevada
region. His
research in this area will ultimately culminate
in a book on
traditional music from Andalusia – that’s
the plan, at least.
