Mathew Rosenblum

With diverse musical elements derived from classical, jazz, rock, and world music traditions, Mathew Rosenblum’s compositions offer “an ear-buzzing flood of sound, rich in unusual overtones” (The Boston Globe). A wide array of groups have commissioned, performed and recorded his music such as the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra, the Raschèr Saxophone Quartet, the Harry Partch Institute, FLUX Quartet, as well as many others. Using a variety of tuning systems, his work does not live within traditional boundaries, creating a compellingly fresh landscape.

His music has been performed throughout the world including at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, Prince Mahidol Hall in Bangkok, the China-ASEAN Music Week in Nanning, the Tonhalle in Düsseldorf, Sala Nezahualcóyotl in Mexico City, and at Carnegie Recital Hall, Merkin Hall and Miller Theatre in New York City. Honors include a Guggenheim Fellowship, three Fromm Foundation Commissions, and a Barlow Endowment Commission. He received degrees from the New England Conservatory of Music and Princeton University and is Professor of Composition and Chair of the Department of Music at the University of Pittsburgh where he also co-directs the Music on the Edgenew music series and directs the Beyond: Microtonal Music Festival. His works appear on the MODE, New World Records, Albany, New Focus Recordings, BMOP/sound, Capstone, Opus One, Blue Griffin, and CRI Emergency Music labels and is published by C.F. Peters Corporation and Plurabelle Music (distributed by Subito Music Corporation).

“The path into the heart of the piece is both clear and infinite.”
—New York Classical Review

“This is music that transcends speeches, rhetoric, and thoughts and prayers as it cuts straight to the heart.”
