Joel Rosenman

Joel Rosenman (born 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.

Roseman manages an investment fund, Source Financing Investors. The fund financed Democratic Party fundraiser Norman Hsu's company, Components Ltd., $40 million dollars; money which Roseman says went missing.
