Early life

Kronauer is of German descent. He attended Interlochen Arts Academy, graduating in 1983. He then went on to complete two master's degrees, Vocal Performance and Choral Conducting, at the University of Michigan by 1990, and in 2006, Kronauer received his doctorate in choral and opera conducting from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Career

Kronauer traveled to Cuba in June 2015 to direct the Los Angeles Children's Chorus's Young Men's Ensemble on tour there. He told the International Business Times, "I think music is something that bonds everyone, and the glory of the opportunity to share with music with other choirs from Cuba, and to share through the hearts and soul of music, and learning about the Cuban music for us, and perhaps (for them) learning about the American music we've brought as well, it's a wonderful opportunity to be together."[3]
