I'm Robert Heath.
I believe concerts should be wildly fun, adventurous, outrageous, and deeply moving.

I've loved music for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is of my aunt giving me a walkman (with cassette tapes!) of Mozart's music, which included the Abduction from the Seraglio and the Jupiter Symphony. I was hooked.

I was also an avid video gamer. The music for the original Nintendo games was catchy and memorable, but it wasn't until I played Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, and Chrono Cross that I realized music could be so much more than just a colorful backdrop. In particular, the opening sequence of Final Fantasy VIII, with the musical drama reflecting the drama among the primary characters, pulled me into that world and once again expanded my conception of what music could be. I listened to these soundtracks, as well as the classical music CDs my parents reluctantly bought for me, on repeat for years.

Since then, I've done more than I ever could have dreamed as a boy in rural West Virginia. I've traveled Southeast Asia and Australia with the US Navy's Seventh Fleet Band, throughout West Virginia with the 249th Army Band, and have founded or co-founded several ensembles along the way.

Although I left the Navy in 2015, I somehow still live a Navy lifestyle, traveling throughout the US with my main haunts currently in South Texas, West Virginia, and Salt Lake City (here for one year). Wherever I am, I'm working to put on incredible concerts that above all make people feel something--whether that's joy, sadness, or anything in between. Leonard Bernstein once said the musician's reply to violence is to "make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before." Every day in good times and bad, I strive to do just that.

I'm always working on something new. If you'd like to stay in touch or if you have any ideas for potential collaborations, please follow me on Instagram or LinkedIn or send me an email. I'd love to hear from you.
