HUNTINGDON, Pa. – On Saturday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m., Robin Spielberg will play piano selections from her 17 albums at Juniata College. Spielberg’s show will take place in Rosenberger Auditorium, Halbritter Center for the Performing Arts. 

While growing up in New York City, Spielberg was influenced and inspired by the music of Broadway. She has since performed at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall and continues to tour on a regular basis.

Aside from her touring and composing, Spielberg is a celebrity spokesperson for the American Association of Music Therapy. Her work with the Association often includes giving seminars, workshops and lectures on the importance of music therapy as well as its many benefits. In a TED talk, Spielberg shares how having her daughter listening to CDs of her piano compositions while in the NICU repeatedly helped stabilize not only her daughter but also all the babies in ear shot of the music.

Spielberg’s performance is part of the Juniata Presents series. With performances throughout the year, the series aims to expand cultural education and artistic viewpoints for both campus and local community audiences. It supports and brings attention to performance as a celebrated art form.
