Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum

Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum is a Juilliard-trained composer born in New York City. She studied composition and performance in New York. She emerged into a career that moves fluidly between acoustic ensembles and electronic sound worlds, often collaborating closely with filmmakers and choreographers. Her credits include scores and music direction for independent and studio projects across various formats. She composed the music for the DreamWorks short film Bird Karma (2018), and her Bird Karma soundtrack was released as an EP in 2019. She wrote the score for Nikole Beckwith’s feature Stockholm, Pennsylvania (2015), and she composed music for the Quibi series Don’t Look Deeper (2020). In addition to those, her name appears on projects ranging from documentary features to episodic television and animated shorts—a pattern of eclectic commissions and frequent collaboration with orchestras and independent filmmakers. Kroll-Rosenbaum is also a Grammy winner: she was one of the engineers credited on the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra / George Manahan recording Ask Your Mama, which won the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Classical. That Grammy was shared by Leslie Ann Jones, John Kilgore, Justin Merrill and Patricia Sullivan (mastering). She has received additional industry recognition for her film work — for example, Bird Karma (2018) was nominated for a Hollywood Music in Media Award in 2019 in the category Best Original Score — Short Film (Animated).
