Classical Guitarist 'Stephen Robinson'
Acclaimed by The New York Times for his “effortless virtuosity,” Stephen Robinson performs and conducts master classes at leading musical institutions and festivals worldwide. He has appeared as guest soloist with orchestras including the Cincinnati Symphony and Boston Pops Orchestras, and performs extensively throughout Florida as a member of the State of Florida Division of Cultural Affairs premier Arts on Tour Program Roster. In addition to serving as a Professor of Guitar at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida since 1983 where he is both founder and director of Stetson’s guitar program, Dr. Robinson is an award-winning recording artist. His many CDs for Clear Note, Centaur, and Lakeside Records have received unanimous critical acclaim from the international publications American Record Guide, Fonoforum, Classical Guitar, Soundboard, Guitar Review, On the Air and Fanfare. The late renowned guitarist Andrés Segovia (right photo) described him as “a magnificent guitarist, one of the most brilliant guitarists of our times." And of a recent performance, Soundboard said “Anyone who has not heard Robinson play is missing one of America’s great guitarists, a performer of brilliance, elegance, and lyricism.” This is a very special concert with a high degree of precision and concentration. Please save the date for this world class concert and planned to be amazed.
