Susanne Rosenberg (born 29 August 1957) is a Swedish folk music singer and vocal coach.[1] She is founder and a singer of the folk group Rosenberg 7, an octet of four vocalists and four string players.[2]
Rosenberg studied musicology at the Stockholm University and has a degree as a singing teacher from the Royal College of Music. She was a teacher at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki from 1987 to 1991. She has been a teacher at the Royal College of Music from 1992, now a lecturer and head of the department of folk music there.
Rosenberg is one of Sweden's most established folkmusik singers. She has great variety of vocal expression, also in older folk techniques such as kulning (cattle calling), in Baroque, jazz and contemporary art music. She has been a pioneer in rediscovering old folk songs and using them in new artistic context. She has collaborated with composer Karin Rehnqvist and directors such as Peter Oskarson and sv.
Rosenberg started two folk music groups, Rosenbergs Sjua or Rosenberg 7 (Rosenberg's Septet)[2] and Rotvälta (Windthrow) and has toured with them in Europe, United States and Asia. She has released numerous records since the 1980s beginning with both groups and as a soloist. The album R7 of four singers with fiddle, viola and cello was reviewed as "sometimes ethereal, sometimes traditional, but always powerful and compelling".[3]
Rosenberg was awarded the 2011 Award Årets traditionsbärare (Tradition keeper of the Year) at the world and folk music gala in Gothenburg.
