He will also collaborate with Musica Angelica, Musica Transalpina, Live Oak Baroque, and the Sonoma Bach Choir.

Rob appears on violin and cornet on Jarvis Lamoreux’s album, Never The Same, and on synthviolin and cornet for March Adstrum’s albums, Relics from Phantoms and Veins, Vines and Cables. His extensive discography includes classical recordings featuring solo work on Portland Baroque Orchestra’s recording of J.S. Bach’s complete string concertos with Monica Huggett; various Bach masterpieces with Collegium Vocale, Ghent and La Chapelle Royale, under the direction of Philippe Herreweghe; and Baroque concerti with Jed Wentz’s ensemble, Musica ad Rhenum.

Born in Santa Monica and raised in Topanga Canyon during the 1960s, Rob credits this formative experience for his lifelong dedication to and advocacy for holistic healing, the non-violent communication process, organic food production, the preservation and restoration of the Earth’s ecosystems, mediation through diplomacy, and his commitment to teaching both music and yoga as acts of devotion.
