with a score and score reader. Robin is also the owner of a new, video
production company called Volti Subito Productions

and any musical group interested in live reinforcement, broadcast, live to tape
video design for concerts or video for marketing and development.

the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra in September of 2010. Volti Subito opened
it’s doors in January of 2011 and Robin’s first client was Sony Music / Sony
Masterworks.
While she's not sold on live
"in-house" reinforcement for formal, Classics-style concerts, just
yet. She is believes that
EVERY Youth, Pops, Specials and Casual Classics should implement live video.

and produce it’s own videos. For this reason, Robin also offers consultation.

as Michael Krajewski, Matt Catingub, and Jeff Tyzik. and guest artists, Yo-Yo Ma, Eileen Ivers, Peter Nero, Bravo
Broadway, Garrison Keillor and more. Under Guillermo Figueroa and David Lockington, Robin has designed lighting and video environments for

Blood, Gorecky's Third, Stravinsky's Right of Spring and Respighi's Pines of
