Robert Jordan has, over the course of his 40-year career, performed with the orchestras of Munich, Prague, Buffalo, and Baltimore, among others. He has performed solo recitals all over the world, and The New York Times has saluted his "pristine clarity and logic" as well as his "graceful songlike spontaneity." Jordan received his Bachelor's Degree from the Eastman School of Music and his Master's Degree from the Juilliard School. Among his teachers were Cecile Genhart and Rosina Lhevinne. He was awarded a Fulbright Grant to Germany in 1965 where he began his concert career, later maintaining residence in Paris for several years. In 1990, Robert Jordan celebrated his "Silver Jubilee" - 25 years of concertizing - with recitals in South America, France and the United States. He has taught at Howard University and was a resident artist at Morgan State University, and has held teaching/residence positions at the universities of Delaware and Michigan, among others. He joined the faculty at the State University of New York at Fredonia in 1980, where he was awarded the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1983, named Kasling Lecturer in 1996, and since 2004 holds the title of Professor Emeritus.
