Robert Delcamp

Robert Delcamp is a reviewer for American Record Guide. He was born and grew up in Cincinnati, where his classical music education was nurtured by attending Cincinnati Symphony concerts every Saturday night during the years of Max Rudolf’s reign. As a high school student he was an avid bassoonist but eventually took up organ as he realized he would never be able to make a functional bassoon reed. He earned his Bachelor and Master degrees in organ performance at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, studying with the legendary Wayne Fisher, and a DMus from Northwestern University. For 38 years he was Professor of Music and University Organist and Choirmaster at The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. Under his direction the University Choir made 10 recordings and undertook 12 tours of England, singing Choral Evensong in more than 25 cathedrals and abbey churches. He has played organ recitals around the US and Europe and made 6 solo CDs for Naxos (all reviewed in ARG!). He and his wife Susan are avid bibliophiles and enjoy living with their cats.
