CELLIST Robin Treybig PERFORMS AS A SOLOIST, CHAMBER MUSICIAN AND ORCHESTRAL PLAYER THROUGHOUT THE U.S., CANADA & EUROPE.About Robin
Robin Treybig enjoys a musical life of performing as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestral player and rock star. Classically trained, Robin began her cello studies at the age of 8 1/2. She remembers choosing the cello because it was big, cool and different from her older siblings’ instrument choices. Being “different” seemed to be her path, as she was the one child of five who became fiercely passionate about following her muse, which is and ever shall be, music. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Robin can be found on the classical stage, in the studio laying down tracks or playing for tens of thousands at arena shows for some of today’s top-grossing artists.
Highlights of her career include performing with Magisterra Soloists with concerts in London (Ontario) and Toronto. As a member of the Holter Music Festival, she performed in a concert tour of Italy to audiences in Sacile, Pordenone and Trieste. Robin resided in Germany, where she played with the Pfalztheater Opera Orchestra. In the U.S., Robin served for many years as Assistant Principal Cellist of the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra in Madison, Wisconsin and appeared as principal on their recordings, Momentum and Mozart: the Early Concerti. She served as Principal Cellist of the Butler County Symphony for ten years and was Interim Principal Cellist of the Youngstown Symphony. Robin also appeared as soloist with the Greenville Symphony in a performance of the Haydn C Major Cello Concerto.
Robin’s exploration and broad musical experience has enabled her to share the stage with some of today’s most popular artists. She performs regularly with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and has played concerts with Evanescence, Disturbed, Josh Groban, Il Volo and Michael Bublé.
A native of Western New York, Robin‘s early studies included lessons with Robert Hausmann of the Buffalo Philharmonic and Western New York-based cellist, Bruce Cramer. She received a Bachelor of Music degree in Performance from the Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music where she studied with renowned soloist, Regina Mushabac. From there she went on to earn a Master of Music degree in Performance from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music under the tutelage of LaSalle String Quartet cellist, Lee Fiser. An avid life learner, Robin continued seeking inspiration throughout her career in the studios of Eric Kim, Hans Christian Schweiker, Richard Hirschl, Ann Martindale-Williams and David Premo. In addition, she was a participant in music festivals including the Aspen Music Festival, The American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz, Austria, The National Orchestral Institute and the Summertrios Festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
