Founded in 1988 by conductor Harold Rosenbaum, The New York Virtuoso Singers is one of the country's leading exponents of contemporary choral music. Although the chorus performs music of all periods, its emphasis is on commissioning, performing and recording the music of living American composers. The choir appears on nearly 50 commercial CDs.
