STUDIO

BALLET ARKANSAS 

Robson has become increasingly recognized for his creative and high-caliber performances in the recording studio. His ability to quickly create arrangements and play lead parts in varying styles has landed him work in studios in Little Rock and Austin.

This excellent, growing, regional company is one of Robson’s favorite collaborators. In recent years, he has conducted full-length ballets, directed educational stage works, commissioned new choreography, and performed chamber ballet adaptations.
