New York Rock & Roll Ensemble
During the late 60s into the 70s while pursuing a schedule of solo concerts as a classical cellist, Rudnytsky also co-founded a rock and roll band, the New York Rock & Roll Ensemble, together with Michael Kamen and Marty Fulterman (now known as Mark Snow), both also students at Juilliard. With its unique crossover between classical and rock music it became very successful with 6 albums released with major labels like Atlantic Records.
The group went on many international tours, had appearances in all major festivals and concert halls including not only solo performances but also special appearances as guest artists with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under Leonard Bernstein at Carnegie Hall in New York City, the Cleveland Symphony, the Detroit Symphony among others, performances on all major national television shows, and a special guest appearance in the film Zachariah.

“New York has her wilderness within her own borders; and though the sailors of Europe are familiar with the soundings of her Hudson, and Fulton long since invented the steamboat on its waters, an Indian is still necessary to guide her scientific men to its headwaters in the Adirondack country.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“So there he is at last. Man on the moon. The poor magnificent bungler! He can’t even get to the office without undergoing the agonies of the damned, but give him a little metal, a few chemicals, some wire and twenty or thirty billion dollars and, vroom! there he is, up on a rock a quarter of a million miles up in the sky.”
—Russell Baker (b. 1925)
“It was easy to recognize in him the anti-social animus of a born evangelist, but there was also something else—a kind of voluptuous delight in the shabby and preposterous, a perverted aestheticism like that of a latter-day movie or radio fan, a wild will to roll in and snuffle balderdash as a cat rolls in and snuffles catnip.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
