Robert Léaumont [Marie-Robert de Castile, Chevalier de Léaumont]
(Saint-Domingue, Haiti, 15 May 1762 - Charleston, 5 August 1814)
French pianist, composer and teacher. Son of Gabriel Henri de Castille de Leaumont (1723-1795) and Perrine Victoire Therese Bezin (?-1794), he was born into an aristocratic family in the French West Indies. He served in the American Revolutionary War as an officer in the French Régiment d’Agenois, and was wounded at the battle of Yorktown in October 1781. After the war he was made a Chevalier of the Royal Order of St. Louis and returned to his life as a wealthy planter and amateur musician. In 1784 he published his 'Six Trios Concertants Pour deux Violons et Basse' and in 1786 his 'Duo concertant pour le clavecin ou le forte-piano et violoncelle', both in Paris. Around 1795, and after the Haitian Revolution stripped his fortune out, he fled to the United States. From 1796 he was active at the Federal Street Theatre in Boston as a violinist and orchestra leader. He relocated to Charleston, South Carolina by December 1799, when he advertised there to teach singing, piano, violin, cello, and fencing. For the remainder of his life, he was an active concert performer, theater musician and music teacher in Charleston.
