Cellist Marcy Rosen has established herself as one of the most important and respected artists of our day. Los Angeles Times music critic Herbert Glass has called her “one of the intimate art’s abiding treasures” and The New Yorker Magazine deemed her “a New York legend of the cello.” She has performed in recital and with orchestras throughout Canada, England, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, South America, Switzerland, and all 50 of the United States. Sought after for her riveting and informative master classes, she has been a guest of the Curtis Institute of Music, the New England Conservatory, the San Francisco Conservatory, the Central Conservatory in Beijing, the Seoul Arts Center in Korea, and the Cartagena International Music Festival in Colombia. Rosen was a founding member of the Mendelssohn String Quartet, which toured worldwide for thirty-one years. Since 1986, she has served as Artistic Director of Chesapeake Music in Maryland and she is Artistic Director of the Evnin Rising Stars program at the Caramoor Center for the Arts. Since first attending the Marlboro Music Festival in 1975, she has participated in twenty-six Musicians from Marlboro tours, including concerts celebrating the fortieth, fiftieth, and sixtieth anniversaries of the festival.
