Brad Robin

Composer, pianist, programmer, improviser, sound and media artist Brad Robin creates and performs integrating numerous genres including classical, jazz, electroacoustic, experimental, and popular mediums, as well as traditional and experimental intermedia theatre. Often while merging media into the world of theater, dance, and video, his music produces visceral experiences integrating musical and naturally occurring sounds and images. The music swirls, bites, and caresses, creating an immersive experience for performers and audience. His music has been performed at national and international festivals including ICMC, SEAMUS, and NYCEMF. His recent piano works, Shimmer and Spread, won 1st and 2nd place respectively and have been performed in the 2023 and 2022 Golden Key Piano Composition Competitions in Vienna. His live piano improvisations album, Release, is available through Naxos on the Centaur label, and Universal Edition distributes his scores. Robin's principal teachers were Joel Hoffman, Joseph Klein, and Christopher Trebue Moore for instrumental music, and Jon Nelson and Chris Mercer for electronic music. He has done workshops at Juilliard with Dalit Warshaw and Evan Fein. He currently teaches at DePaul and Northwestern Universities in Chicago
