He has performed recitals throughout the capital region with pianist Mark Evans. Robert has had the honor of premiering both Quarry Songs by Brett L. Wery and the role of Rory in Troubleshooting, a new micro opera, by John Carroll. His solo concert experience includes Brahms’ Liebeslieder, Fauré’s Requiem, Mozart’s Requiem, Händel's Messiah, as well as many Bach Cantatas. This summer he joins Des Moines Metro Opera in their productions of Salome, Pélleas et Melisande, and the world premiere of American Apollo. Following DMMO, Robert is thrilled to be attending the Ravinia Festival in Chicago.
