Robison was recognized early as one of the great solo flutists of her generation, at a time when few had careers outside an orchestra. Her broad education, however, developed in the highly cultivated and morally conscious family environment she grew up in and in her training with outstanding teachers, has given her a passion for theater, dance, and all the arts, as well as a humanistic perspective on music and the instrument she plays. Robison puts this to work in her teaching and in her collaborative work with contemporary music groups like Argento New Music and in museum contexts.
