PRIOR PERFORMANCES
French Heritage Society Benefit
In November 2006, Robin gave a performance in Philadelphia at the French Heritage Society’s benefit gala. The event raised money to rebuild historic houses in New Orleans that were ruined by Hurricane Katrina. The all-French program included a set of five rarely-performed Creole songs arranged by Camille Nickerson, an ethnomusicologist and performer of traditional Creole music of the early-mid 20th century. David Brunetti was the pianist.
In Love Again
In May 2006, Robin sang at Odette's in lovely New Hope, PA with pianist Ian Herman. From Broadway to Edith Piaf, Cole Porter to Billy Joel, the program was a fresh, funny and affectionate take on love in its many iterations — looking for love, finding it (and reveling in it), losing it and starting over again.
Circle Game
Robin gave three performances of her third show at the Encore in New York City in June, 2005. She was joined by musical director and pianist David Brunetti, and bass player Frank Wagner; the show was directed by Scott Barnes. The program is reprised on Robin's CD, "Circle Game."
can't live with him, can't live without him... more love songs
Robin's second show at Don't Tell Mama, in 2003, was as diverse and well-received as her first. The program spanned styles and genres as varied as jazz, Broadway, French cabaret and the American Songbook, with some delightfully wicked surprises thrown in for good measure, including "Tamara, Queen of the Nile" and "You're Outa Here," with lyrics written by Lorraine Feather to a Fats Waller piece. Helen Baldassare directed; Robin was joined again by multiple MAC Award-winning musical director and pianist Dick Gallagher (whose 2002 MAC Award was for directing Robin's first show).
Love, Longing & Levity
Robin was nominated for the Female Vocalist Debut MAC Award for her sold-out 2002 show at Don't Tell Mama in New York City. Her five performances of this critically acclaimed program included numbers by Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, George Gershwin, Hoagy Carmichael and 14 other songwriters, including some unusual and very funny gems. Acclaimed musical director, composer and pianist Dick Gallagher accompanied Robin; Helen Baldassare was the artistic director.
