Established in 1959 with a gift from the Louis and Henrietta Blaustein Foundation Inc., the Rosenberg Foundation honors the late Ruth Blaustein Rosenberg '21 and her late husband, Henry A. Rosenberg. Since 1960, the foundation has enriched the music program at Goucher College by funding the Henry and Ruth Blaustein Rosenberg Lecture-Performance. Each year, income from an endowment provided by the Rosenberg Foundation brings a musical group, performing artist, composer, or musicologist to the campus to present a free lecture and performance. The Rosenberg Foundation recently made an additional contribution to the fund that will continue the lecture-performance series for years to come.
