Joel Rosenman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joel Rosenman (1942 - ), A.B. Princeton '63, J.D. Yale '66, is one of four people responsible for producing the Woodstock Festival in 1969. Rosenman developed the idea for the three-day concert after looking at a recording studio proposal brought forward by Michael Lang and Artie Kornfeld. Together with partner John Roberts, the four designed the event and dealt with the subsequent aftermath.

Formerly a professional musician, some of Rosenman's other business ventures include the highly successful Media Sound recording studio in New York and the concert Woodstock '94. He and Roberts are the co-authors of Young Men with Unlimited Capital, a non-fictional account of their exploits as producers of Woodstock.
