Rousseau has appeared with many national and international orchestras, including the Minnesota Orchestra under Leonard Slatkin, the U.S. Army Band at Kennedy Center, the Budapest Strings in Hungary, and the Tokyo Bach Band, as well as the Hamamatsu International Wind Instrument Festival in Japan. He holds the title of Distinguished Professor of Music at Indiana University, having served on the IU faculty from 1964 to 2000.
