In a recent American Record Guide review, his Piano Quartet was described as being “a good example of eclectic modern American writing; colorful, clear-textured, balancing rhythmic excitement and introspection.” One of the most versatile musicians of our day, Robert Chumbley has dedicated his life to composing and conducting for the musical theatre, opera, ballet, chamber music, and the symphony.
