Robyn is originally from Albuquerque, NM, where she began playing the violin at age three with renowned Suzuki pedagogue Susan Kempter. She later continued her studies with Leonard Felberg, then professor of violin at the University of New Mexico and a founding member of the Seraphin Trio.
She received her Bachelors of Music from the Peabody Conservatory, where she studied with Tokyo Quartet first violinist Martin Beaver and Herbert Greenberg, former concertmaster of the Baltimore Symphony. She received her Masters of Music in violin performance from the Cleveland Institute of Music, where she studied with David Updegraff, violin department head. In 2003 she was awarded a fellowship to help Singapore start its first conservatory, the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory, and to play with the Singapore Symphony.
As a dedicated educator, Robyn received apprenticeship Suzuki training under her former mentor, Susan Kempter. She maintains a private studio of students ranging from very young beginners through those preparing for college auditions.
Her students have been accepted into the top orchestras of organizations such as the Colorado All State Orchestra, Western States Honor Orchestra, the Lamont Summer Music Academy, the Denver Young Artists Orchestra, and the International Music Academy, Pilsen, and have gone on to major in music in such schools as CU Boulder and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
An active chamber musician, Robyn has been a featured performer in concert series and festivals around the country and abroad, including the Albuquerque Chamber Soloists, Loon Lake Live, Denver’s Friend’s of ChamberMusic’s series Music with Friends, Denver Eclectic Concerts, Piccolo Spoleto Spotlight Series, Charleston Chamber Players, Charleston House Concerts, and Breckenridge Music Festival’s Winter Concert Series.

She performs regularly with the Colorado and Atlanta Symphonies, the Grand Teton Music Festival, the Colorado Music Festival, and is a member of the Opera Colorado Orchestra.
She has been a member of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music since 2008, and spends two weeks every August in Santa Cruz, CA slaving over challenging music for the satisfaction of bringing the very newest classical music to life!
Robyn lives in Denver, Colorado. She shares her home with her dog, Amelia, and her cats, Milo and Reggie (Reginald Bertrand).
