About

Leah Rosenman, a mezzo-soprano based in Rochester, NY, is an avid performer of vocal repertoire spanning from Hildegard to Howells. Praised for her musical sensitivity and passion for collaboration, Leah believes that creative expression is a necessary act in a world that promotes the devaluation of humanity. Equally at home as a soloist, ensemble singer, and arts administrator, Leah strives to uplift underrepresented voices in classical music.

As a soloist, Leah has performed with The Bach Choir of Bethlehem’s Bach at Noon Series, the Berkshire Symphony, the Northern Berkshire Chorale, the I/O New Music Festival, the Williams Opera Workshop, and the Mediterranean Opera Studio and Festival. As a choral musician, Leah has sung with the 2025-2026 VOCES8 US Scholars, the Spoleto Festival USA Chorus, the Northwestern Bach Academy, the Amherst Early Music Festival, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, the Spire Chamber Ensemble’s Choral Conducting Institute, and the Seraphic Fire Professional Choral Institute at the Aspen Music Festival.

Presently, Leah sings with the Eastman Chorale, the Eastman Collegium, the Christ Church Schola Cantorum, the Downtown United Presbyterian Church Choir, First Inversion, and the Scivias Medieval Ensemble. As an arts administrator, Leah has extensive experience with community engagement, ensemble management, and grant writing, skills which she actively hones as a graduate assistant at Eastman’s Institute for Music Leadership and as an intern at BOA Editions.

Born in Ohio and raised in Massachusetts, Leah graduated magna cum laude with a BA in music from Williams College, where she studied voice with Kerry Ryer-Parke and Paul La Rosa. She is currently pursuing an MA in music leadership from the Eastman School of Music, where she is a voice student of Katherine Ciesinski. Leah especially enjoys early music, in particular the music of J. S. Bach and Buxtehude. In her free time, she likes to read poetry, go on walks, and spend time with her cat, Jojo.
