"I am absolutely thrilled to join the Richmond Symphony as your new Chorus Director. The opportunity to collaborate with this esteemed orchestra and to work alongside such talented singers is a true privilege. Countless composers have conveyed their most profound and personal statements through the union of orchestra and choir, producing moments of unparalleled beauty and emotional depth. I fell in love with this repertoire because it so beautifully embodies this synergy, creating moments of sheer magic for both listener and performer. I cannot wait to embark on this journey with the Richmond Symphony and to share the joy of these collaborative performances with our audiences." -Dr. Robbins
