An active musician for nearly nine years, Robert Summers Potterton III has been making a name for himself as a composer, keyboardist, conductor, and music director. His music has been acclaimed by the likes of the famed ragtime/early jazz entertainer, Terry Waldo, who invited him to a personal meeting last summer, and has covered all genres. His work in film, television, theater, and the concert hall have brought him a nomination for an award for original film music from the Academy of Digital Video Arts, a performance by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and clients all over the United States, and in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Africa, India, and Australia. He is currently staff composer for Blackcoffee Films, the largest media company with offices in Mumbai and Singapore, and also serves as director of music and/or organist at seven churches in CT and NY. He is currently in his final year of studies towards a B.Mus. degree in Composition and Organ Performance at the Greatbatch School of Music in Houghton, NY, where he is also assistant conductor of the Houghton College Men's Choir (2005-2006) and assistant chapel organist. MSR Classics, MMC Recordings, and Eroica Classical Recordings are all considering Robert for new releases on their respective labels, and he is planning a recording with the Russian State Symphony Cinema Orchestra of Moscow and performances by the Houghton Philharmonia Orchestra, and the Houghton College Symphonic Winds.He hopes to continue his studies in Boston for Master's and doctoral degrees.
