Meet dr. stasney
Dr. C. Richard Stasney, a Houston Methodist physician and an opera aficionado, inspired what is now CPAM in 1996. His interest in singing and musical drama began when he accompanied his mother to the opera as a child. Although his own vocal abilities did not earn him spot on his prep school glee club, Dr. Stasney continued to indulge his passion for music. He pursued a career as an ear, nose and throat specialist, becoming the primary physician for the Houston Grand Opera and other vocalists. He retired in 2016. Dr. Robert E. Jackson, who holds the C. Richard Stasney, MD Distinguished Chair in Performing Arts Medicine, helps CPAM carry on the tradition of caring for our area performing and visual artists.
