Andrew Rosenblum enjoys a multifaceted career as a pianist and harpsichordist. He has performed with singers and instrumentalists at major venues including Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, and The Kennedy Center. In recent seasons, Rosenblum joined cellist Seth Parker Woods in recitals at 92nd Street Y, Dumbarton Oaks, The Gardner Museum, The Wallis, AMP by Strathmore, and Troy Savings Bank Music Hall.
​
Rosenblum received critical acclaim for his recordings of the songs of Lori Laitman: Colin Clarke described his playing on Naxos’ 2019 release Living in the Body and Acis’ 2022 release The Ocean of Eternity as “beautifully responsive” and “superb” (Fanfare Magazine), while Robert A. Moore, in his review of Acis’ 2021 release Are Women People?, described him as “sensitive...wonderfully attentive to the nuances of the pieces” (American Record Guide).
​
As a harpsichordist, Rosenblum won Second Prize in the 2018 International Bach Competition Leipzig and the 2017 Prague Spring International Music Competition, where he also won the Czech Music Fund Foundation Prize for his performance of Petr Wajsar’s Harpsycho. He has soloed with Leipziger Barockorchester, Bohuslav MartinuÌŠ Philharmonic Orchestra, Collegium 1704, and Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and performed with Opera Lafayette Orchestra, Music of the Baroque Orchestra, and Haymarket Opera Orchestra,
​
Equally passionate about new music, Rosenblum performed in “Power in Sound: the Music of Galina Ustvolskaya” in Chicago in 2017, the “Julius Eastman Portrait Concert” at Chicago Cultural Center in 2018, and “A Portrait of George Walker” at The Phillips Collection in 2022. His work with Memoria Nova Ensemble and Kaleidoscope MusArt has centered on presenting lesser-known compositions and illuminating connections between musics of different eras.
​
Rosenblum has been on the Piano Faculty of Heifetz International Music Institute since 2015, and has been a staff collaborative pianist for Cleveland Institute of Music, Northwestern University, and Chicago Symphony Chorus.
"A poetic touch, elegantly conveyed by Andrew Rosenblum, seemed like a dreamscape in the Love-Death Music of “Dream Images” (Gemini) that soon turns to quotations from Chopin’s Fantasie-Impromptu as if a childhood memory..."
