Teddy Robie, piano

    Praised for his “striking pianism” (Cleveland Plain Dealer) and being “a poet at the piano” (New York Sun), pianist Teddy Robie has performed extensively both as soloist and chamber musician in Canada, Taiwan, Italy, and across the United States.
    A native of North Carolina, Robie began studying piano and violin at the age of 6. By age 13, he had already made solo appearances with the Winston-Salem and Raleigh Symphonies, garnering praise for precocious readings of Mozart and Tchaikovsky. Robie has performed in many prestigious venues, including the “Rising Stars” series at Ravinia, the “Performances” series in San Francisco, and at Cleveland’s Mixon Hall master’s series. He has also appeared live on WQXR (New York) and has been a frequent guest performer on WFMT (Chicago).
    Robie has won prizes in numerous competitions, including Juilliard’s Gina Bachauer Scholarship competition, the Fischoff National Chamber Music competition, the North Carolina Symphony competition, and the Stony Brook concerto competition.
    An avid chamber musician as well as soloist, Robie has collaborated with many renowned artists, including Roger Tapping, Donald Weilerstein, Bonnie Hampton, Joan Kwuon, Joel Smirnoff, Violaine Melancon, and Jean-Michel Fonteneau. Festival appearances include Yellow Barn Chamber Music Festival, Taos Chamber Music Festival, Music Academy of the West, and Pianofest in the Hamptons.
    Robie holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from The Juilliard School, where he studied with Jerome Lowenthal and Yoheved Kaplinsky. He is now a doctoral candidate at SUNY Stony Brook, where he studies with Christina Dahl.
