Robin works as a teaching assistant in a special educational provision setting, where he sings most days. He holds a Masters in singing from the Royal Northern College of Music and two Postgraduate Diplomas, one (also from RNCM) in singing and one (from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire) in composition.
For most of the last decade he has been a Lay Vicar Choral at Lichfield Cathedral, and worked for many years with award-winning Lichfield-based outreach organisation MusicShare. Originally from Sheffield, he has recently returned to his Yorkshire roots, taking up a Lay Clerk post at Bradford Cathedral. His role of the choral workshop leader for Music of Life combines his love of singing outreach work with his interest in special educational needs.
As a freelance tenor and composer Robin enjoys a varied career, having worked with vocal groups such as The Apex Singers, Kantos Chamber Choir and Ex Cathedra. He presented his song cycle Prayers from the Ark at the Sheffield Classical Music Festival in 2019.
Robin’s postgraduate studies were generously supported by the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation, the Oglesby Charitable Foundation, the Headley Trust, the Waverley Fund and The Geoffrey Woodward Award.
