He is also a specialist in performing Bach, having studied with some of the greatest interpreters of that repertoire, including Peter Schreier and Ernst Haefliger. He has been greatly influenced in his singing and teaching by the Verdi tenor Dennis O’Neill, CBE; Sir Donald McIntyre; Ruth Falcon; Martin Katz; and Naomi Farr.
Since 2010, Dr. Kronauer conducts and coaches the Young Men’s Ensemble of the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus, which is committed to helping young men continue to sing healthily throughout the voice change. At the time of its founding, the Young Men’s Ensemble was one of the only such choirs in the world; it has been the model for dozens of other choirs since then. Dr. Kronauer has led public discussions for the American Choral Directors Association on the changing voice, interviewing singers David Daniels and Ben Heppner in conjunction with the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus and the Buckley School in Los Angeles. The Young Men’s Ensemble, including Dr. Kronauer teaching and conducting, has been profiled in the Los Angeles Times. Dr. Kronauer also has an established studio in Los Angeles for singers of all styles and has several successful students singing internationally, in a variety of genres and media including opera, concert, Broadway, and pop. His work as a vocal coach and choral conductor has helped to launch careers for conductors, music educators, and performers. Dr. Kronauer’s private students include multi-Grammy Award winning songwriter and producer Finneas and multi-Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Billie Eilish.
