Yotam Rosenbaum is an award-winning drummer and composer. The son of a clarinet player and the youngest of four brothers, all musicians themselves, Yotam seemed destined for a life in music. By the age of six, he was taking piano lessons and singing in a professional choir. Before long, he was studying trumpet and drums as well. He continued on to study at the Rubin Academy of Music High School in Jerusalem and The Rimon School of Music in Tel-Aviv before moving to the U.S, where he attended the world-renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, graduating magna cum laude. Yotam's compositional style stems from his extensive exposure to both jazz and classical music. His creative influences span the stylistic spectrum, from Mozart, Mahler, Stravinsky and Bartok to Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Astor Piazzolla and Frank Zappa, manifesting themselves in his work as a harmonious blend of the traditional and contemporary. Strong melodies and innovative rhythmic ideas characterize all his pieces, which include not only orchestral compositions, but also chamber music, solo pieces, jazz tunes and contemporary songs. Yotam Rosenbaum's compositions have been performed and recorded by some of the world's finest musicians and ensembles, including Grammy-award winner Dave Samuels and the Kandinsky Trio, who premiered Yotam's InchThree Short StoriesInch for marimba and piano, (a three-movement piece that crosses over between classical and jazz, incorporating improvisation and inventive rhythmic ideas), as well as the Esterhazy String Quartet, that premiered his piece InchDancin' Music.Inch Yotam has also performed his music at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC as part
