Steinway Performing Artist!
Robin Spielberg is one of America's most beloved pianist/composers and she is thrilled to be the first performer on the new Steinway grand piano at the Firehouse! With an impressive tour schedule and one million recordings sold, this Steinway Artist has been winning the hearts of listeners around the world in the years following her 1993 debut recording of original solos for piano, “Heal of the Hand” thanks to her compelling melodies and sensitive piano technique.
Since Ms. Spielberg's last performance at the Firehouse in 2008, thousands of people have been both entertained and touched by Ms. Spielberg's live concerts; she has toured more than any female composer/pianist in the past decade. Her natural talent for making audiences immediately comfortable transforms what could easily be an ordinary evening at the concert hall into a very special concert Event.
A prolific composer, Spielberg has sixteen recordings to her credit and appears on over forty compilations around the world. Her discography includes albums of original piano solos, arrangements of American standards, original & Americana songs for piano/ensemble, recordings for the holidays, and a CD of lullabies. Robin Spielberg made her Carnegie Hall debut in a sold-out performance at the Weill Recital Hall in 1997 and has performed there twice since. Other memorable performances include a guest spot on the PBS television special "The Soul of Christmas"; "A Celtic Music Celebration with Thomas Moore"; and live performances on CBS Saturday Morning; Good Morning Arizona; Life Time Live; "CBS New Orleans" -- a private concert for the factory workers at the Steinway & Sons historic piano factory in New York; and a month-long concert tour through rural Montana with Steinway in tow.
Come hear the sounds of the season performed by Robin Spielberg on the Firehouse's recently acquired 7' Steinway piano and make your holiday merry and bright!
"Robin has such a personal and expressive way of playing, and her story-telling about the origins of the music makes the pieces come alive…the evening was both touching and mesmerizing"
“Robin Spielberg has an undeniable melodic gift”
