Meet Bruce Potterton,

our Turtle of the Month 

Bruce studied piano with Sascha Gordonitzki, and before that, with Murray Present at Montclair State College. He coached piano with Leonard Eisner. Since 1965, Bruce has been a solo and chamber recitalist. A long-time faculty member of the Henry Street Settlement Music School (since 1970) and TBMS (since 1984), Bruce also taught at the Amherst Summer Music Centre from 1971 to 1979. An active leader in the cultural community of Lubec, Maine, he founded SummerKeys, a music vacation center for adults, in 1996, and in 1994 he created The Mary Potterton Memorial Concerts, a free, weekly summer-long series; he is currently the director of both.

TBMS congratulates Bruce on his recent award from the Maine Governor's Conference on Tourism. His SummerKeys program won the Governor's Award for for Creativity and Innovation.
