New Peabody Faculty-Artist in Residence Harold Robinson


(crossposted from PBDB)
Here is the blurb from the official Peabody website:
Peabody is pleased to announce the appointment of Harold Hall Robinson, principal bass of the Philadelphia Orchestra and instructor at the Curtis Institute, as Peabody Artist-Faculty in Residence. Beginning in Fall 2009, he will join current Peabody double bass faculty faculty Paul Johnson and Jeffrey Weisner in this newly created position. Mr. Robinson will visit Peabody multiple times over the course of the year for day-long classes, presentations and intensive group lessons with Peabody bass students. Each student will work collaboratively with both their primary teacher and Mr. Robinson to develop their own artistry and musicianship.

As a result of this new appointment, application deadlines have been extended for the 2009-2010 academic year.  Please contact Peabody Admissions for more information.

 

 
We’ll have more news on this appointment soon, both at PBDB and on our official school website. Feel free to email any of us in the meantime if you have questions.

    This is HUGE, HUGE for Peabody’s Double Bass program. Peabody’s double bass program was an audition winner juggernaut during Robinson’s Peabody tenure from the mid-80s to the mid-90s. Hopefully, his residency will bring back some of that magic. Those Peabody kids better get ready to get “serious!”

    This truly is awesome news! I think that adding Hal to an already excellent teaching studio makes Peabody one of the top two or three choices for a bass education in the country. It was great before, but it’s even better now. Kudos to Jeff and Paul for making this happen, and I know that I’ll be recommending that all my serious students apply to Peabody (this school is already one of the best places for a double bass education, and it’s even ore of an attractive option with the addition of Hal).
