Lori Rosolowsky is a Bozeman, Montana-based pianist, singer-songwriter, educator, performer, producer, and founder/owner of Open Sky Artists, LLC, a performing arts management and consulting firm.
As a performer or a champion of others in the arts, Lori is committed to excellence and integrity. She double majored in science and music at Oberlin College (B.A.) and earned in PhD at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. She returned to music after a career in environmental science.
As a collaborative pianist, Lori has accompanied students who have won university, state and regional competitions. Her work at MSU earned her a 2021 Honorary Alumni Award from the MSU Honors College. She immerses herself in the vibrant culture of Bozeman, including as Music Director for Verge Theater's productions of Fun Home (2019), Cabaret (2023), and Songs for A New World (2024), and The Last Five Years (2023) at The Blue Slipper in Livingston. She has served on the Board of Bozeman Actors Theatre (2018-2022) and Verge Theater (2023-current). Lori is a connector of people and ideas.
She created and chairs the Preludes and Performances at Montana State University’s lifelong learning program MSU-OLLI, a series of live and streamed public events designed to increase audience engagement of arts offerings in Montana. Similarly, she produces RIVERs (Rhapsody-in-View Events and Retreats). These private house concerts and shows connect socially conscious organizations with professional performers to increase the flow of resources (audience, awareness, and funds) to all participants.
She is married to scientist Dr. Mark Rosolowsky and together they have raised two shining lights (Kurt, who works at Nissan in Michigan) and Cody (a student at Duke University in North Carolina). Lori enjoys yoga, skiing, biking, hiking and is a competitive US Masters swimmer.
