"A native of The Bronx, NY, Dr. Gumbs has performed throughout the United States and internationally, including in Antigua, St. Thomas, Ghana, Paris, and Munich, continually attracting new fans and followers. In a review of a recording featuring him and bass-baritone Dashon Burton, The New York Times praised Nathaniel’s playing as “mature, lyrical, accurate, and energetic,” noting that his performance was delivered “deftly and with feeling. Beginning in May, Dr. Gumbs will be the Director of Music at the Riverside Church, in the City of New York!
Nathaniel currently serves as Director of Chapel Music at Yale University where he works with students, faculty, and guests to coordinate music for three worshiping communities: the University Church in Battell Chapel, the Yale Divinity School community, and the Berkeley Divinity School community, the latter two communities both worshiping in Marquand Chapel. He earned his undergraduate degree from Shenandoah Conservatory, his Master of Music degree from Yale University, and his Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Eastman School of Music.
