The New York Rock & Roll Ensemble
The New York Rock & Roll Ensemble was an American psychedelic baroque-rock band that released three albums between 1968 and 1970 on Atco, followed by two 1971–72 titles on Columbia. Keyboardist Michael Kamen became a Hollywood film composer.
Members : Clifton Nivison (vocals, guitar, percussion), Dorian Rudnytsky (vocals, cello, bass, piano, trumpet, french horn), Michael Kamen (vocals, oboe, keyboards, synthesizer, english horn), Marty Fulterman [aka Mark Snow] (oboe, drums), Brian Corrigan (guitar, vocals, 1967-71), Hank DeVito (pedal steel guitar, 1971-72)
The New York Rock & Roll Ensemble was formed in 1967 at Juilliard by three multi-instrumentalists: Michael Kamen, Marty Fulterman, and Dorian Rudnytsky, all natives of New York City who played in different plays while enrolled at the performing arts institute.
Kamen (b. April 15, 1948) and Fulterman (b. August 26, 1946) played in Emil & The Detectives, a rock band named after the 1929 child sleuth novel by German author Erich Kästner — since re-popularized by a 1964 Disney film adaptation (the name was also used by a mid-sixties school band with soon-to-be Fairport Convention guitarist Richard Thompson and much-later Stranglers frontman Hugh Cornwell).
Rudnytsky (b. July 9, 1944) played in the rock band Invicta (named after the watch brand) with Brian Corrigan and Clif Nivison, both singing guitarists. He was borne to Ukraine migrant musical parents: composer–conductor Antin Rudnytsky (1902–1975) and opera soprano Maria Sokil (1902–1999). At Juilliard, he studied under Maurice Eisenberg, author of the 1957 handbook Cello Playing of Today and protege of famed Catalan cellist Pablo Casals, the 1963 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient.
At the suggestion of a talent-scouting record producer, Kamen and Fulterman dissolved the Detectives and teamed with Rudnytsky, Corrigan, and Nivison in a new band: dubbed the New York Rock & Roll Ensemble, a reference to their locale and musical fusion of rock and classical (hence “ensemble”). Clad in signature white ties and tailcoats, they performed their first concert for the 1967 Juilliard Halloween dance. Atlantic signed the band and linked them with producer–conductor George “Shadow” Morton.

About The New York Rock Ensemble
An apocryphal tale says Juilliard Music Conservatory-trained musicians Michael Kamen, Marty Fulterman, and Dorian Rudnytsky decided in the late '60s in New York that they could make bigger bucks as rock stars than as classical musicians. The results of this legendary experiment were inconclusive. Forming the New York Rock and Roll Ensemble, they broke with tradition on their first two albums -- 1968's self-titled debut and Faithful Friends the next year -- by using classical music instruments in rock songs and using rock instruments on classical pieces. This fusion, daring at the time, impressed legendary conductor Leonard Bernstein so much that he invited the group to appear at one of his Young People's Concerts with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. For their third Atco release, Reflections, they collaborated with Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis, best known for scoring music for the movie Never on Sunday. Rhythm guitarist Brian Corrigan departed after the third album, and pedal steel guitar player Hank Devito joined. The band then shortened its name to New York Rock Ensemble and switched to Columbia. Released in 1971, Roll Over was their most overtly rock album to date and their biggest seller, although they fell well short of Led Zeppelin on the Billboard charts. The band dispersed after Freedomburger, although Rudnytsky, Fulterman, and Corrigan had one final shot with Flattering Foe.... Devito surfaced years later as a stalwart player in the bands of Rodney Crowell and Rosanne Cash. Only Kamen fulfilled the original trio's objective of successfully melding classical and pop music to make big bucks. After being music director for David Bowie's Diamond Dogs tour, he went on to a thriving career scoring films. After his score for Brazil gained him wide exposure, he hit the mother lode composing music for the Die Hard and Lethal Weapon series. In 1991, Kamen earned an Academy Award nomination for "(Everything I Do) I Do it for You," the Bryan Adams monster international pop smash hit from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Kamen has also worked with Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Liona Boyd, Sting, Rod Stewart, Metallica, Kate Bush, Belinda Carlisle, the Chieftains, the Cranberries, Roger Daltrey, Eurythmics, John Mellencamp, Jim Croce, and many others. ~ Mark Allan
