As an undergraduate, Robin is currently studying with Emory University artist affiliate Jay Christy, who is Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s Acting Associate/Assistant Principal Second Violin. She has performed with the Emory University Symphony Orchestra for the past four semesters. From her very first performance as a young violinist, music has always been about sharing emotion for Robin.
Robin prioritizes storytelling in performance, which she experiences as a sharing of energy and emotion between her, her fellow performers, and the audience. She hopes that her performance invites audiences into a space of connection through her vulnerability and outpouring of emotion as a performer. Within her study of environmental science, Robin is interested in the relationships between people, place, and environment. The emphasis Robin places on community in every area of her life is a uniting factor between her life as a performer and her interests as an academic. When she is not studying or practicing, you can find her dabbling in a variety of other instruments, crafts, and activities. Beyond her formal training and study of classical music, Robin can produce some semblance of music on the piano, tin whistle, and guitar. She has a deep love for both making and listening to folk music. She is also an avid reader, a chaotic crocheter, an amateur watercolor painter, and an enjoyer of long walks.
