Robert Buxton is brilliant pianist who knows how to engage with diverse public audiences. His presentations for Carolina Public Humanities always elicit highly enthusiastic, positive reviews because of his insightful playing and knowledgeable comments about the meaning of the music. People come away from Robert’s programs feeling informed, respected, and inspired to learn more about music. He shows why the arts and humanities are essential for anyone looking for wider cultural perspectives in these difficult times.”

Comments from Carolina Public Humanities Attendees:
“I learned so much about the music, the life of the person who wrote it, and the people of the composer’s era,”
“The format was perfect: conversation and performance.”
“It felt like a private concert for royalty.”
“As past chairman and member of the Governor's Club Arts Society, we have had the privilege of having Dr. Buxton perform here on multiple occasions. In addition to his wonderful artistic performances, Dr Buxton always provides an insightful talk prior to each composition he will play that brings the piece of music to life because of his sharing his insights about the composer and the particular piece of music and what the audience should listen for. This is extremely special for all audience members either listening to a performance of the composition for the first time, or multiple times. Dr Buxton has a comprehensive repertoire so that the program he performs can be especially selected for each audience.”
