About Leroy Robertson

The renowned Utah composer and educator Leroy Robertson served as chair of the University’s Department of Music from 1948-1962. He ushered in its modern years through the expansion of its music curriculum to meet national accreditation standards, a monumental milestone conferred by the National Association of Schools of Music in 1952.

During his tenure, he made a home for the Utah Symphony on campus, saving it during trying times and establishing a partnership that still exists today, to the educational benefit of U music students. After retiring as chair, he served as Composer-in-Residence from 1962-65 and was named the first U Distinguished Research Professor in 1965-66. Full bio.
