With his appointment as Organist of France’s Royal Chapel at the Palace of Versailles, Jean-Baptiste Robin was given an enviable and distinguished place in a long line of royal organists (Couperin, Marchand, and Daquin) as “court musician”. Robin’s playing most certainly mirrors and matches the opulence and grandeur of that world-renowned building. His frequent performance trips have yielded recitals in 20 European countries, Russia, Israël, Asia (Japan and South Korea), Canada, and more than half of the fifty states in the United States of America. Widely regarded as one of the most accomplished French organists, master teachers, and composers of his generation (with over 150 new works to his credit), Mr. Robin also serves as Professor of Organ at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional in Versailles.
Join us on Monday, March 10 for a presentation and masterclass where Mr. Robin will share reflections on his transcription of Ravel and work with local students on technique and interpretation.
Registration encouraged at TCAGO.org.
