Rosenberg is one of Sweden’s most established folk singers today. Her vocal expression has excellent breadth, ranging from older folk-song techniques such as kulning to baroque, jazz, and modern art music. She is also active as a researcher, pedagogue, composer, arranger, and writer. Susanne Rosenberg has been a pioneer in rediscovering older folk singing styles and using them in new artistic contexts, both as an artist and as an educator, particularly in polyphonic singing and choral contexts. During the 1990s, she developed polyphonic folk singing in her ”Folk Women’s Choir” (1993-1996) and has also written works for choirs, including “Pust” (2000), “Stjärnan” (2013), and “Missa Vox Mundi” (2021). In Sweden, she has collaborated with the composer Karin Rehnqvist and premiered several works written directly for Rosenberg, such as “Puksånger - Lockrop” (1989), “Hetluft” (1993), “Rädda mig ur dyn” (1997), and “Så går en dag” (2000). She has also worked with directors such as Peter Oskarsson (Den Stora Vreden, 1988-1990) and Leif Stinnerbom (“Ljuset” 1996). Outside Sweden, she has collaborated with Quincy Jones and Clark Terry (Sonic Convergence 2001) and with Ryuichi Sakamoto in Japan (L I F E 2000). Among her artistic projects are “Syn för sägen” (1995), “ReBoot-OmStart” (2010), “Kurbits-Koral - The Spirit of the moment” (2010), “Getens horn” (2011), “Voice Space” (2013), “Folk Vocal” (2014), and others. Since 2014, she has been conducting the artistic research project ”Folk Song Lab”, with support from the Swedish Research Council (2019-2021). She has also developed Sweden's traditional folk singing environment through innovative research in Kulning (herding calls), folk singing style, improvisation in folk singing, and artistic research. She has also developed and published several educational methods and materials in folk singing, folk singing style, and Kulning. As head of the Department of Folk Music at KMH, Rosenberg developed many pedagogical concepts, courses, and programmes. She has been influential in developing folk music education in Higher Music Education, not only in Sweden. As a teacher, she has taught most of today’s young folk singers who have studied at KMH and have developed topics such as folk song methodology, kulning, and courses in folk song singing. She has started the folk music groups Rosenbergs Sjua, Krus och Rotvälta and has toured Europe, the USA, and Asia. Other groups she has participated in include Kvickrot, Höök, Out of Time and Country, and Luftstråk. She has been published on phonograms since the 1980s, both with groups and as a soloist. Rosenberg has received artists’ scholarships and research funding on several occasions.
