Educated at the Eastman School of Music and the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Britton came to Los Angeles originally to teach at Loyola Marymount University. He taught and performed at Caltech from 1977 until 1992.

His recordings include “Masterworks for Organ by Grunenwald and Langlais” in 1978; “Virtuoso Baroque Organ Toccatas” in 1980; a selection of Bach in 1985; “Gargoyles and Chimeras” in 1987, and “Organo Deco” in 1990. In addition to his work at Loyola Marymount, Britton had taught at Whittier College, Cal State Northridge and Mount St. Mary’s College, where he had been artist in residence since 1980.
