While at Montrose, she participated in the Concert Choir and was selected for county, district, regional, and state choral festivals. She graduated at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ and later studied and graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in London. Robin’s solo oratorio work has included major works such as Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, Vivaldi’s Gloria and Dvorak’s Stabat Mater. In addition to recitals in the United States, Italy, Wales and England, she has operatoric experience which includes roles in such operas as Cadide, Cosi Fan Tutte, and The Bartered Bride.
