Artist(s)
Paula Robison has played a major role internationally in redefining the flute as a solo instrument. At NEC, she occupies a teaching chair endowed in 2005 by Charles "Chuck" and Donna Hieken, with matching funds from the Nicholas Family Challenge.
A founding member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Robison was also a co-director of the Spoleto Festivals in the US and Italy for over 30 years, earning her the Premio Pegaso and the Adelaide Ristori prizes for her contribution to Italian cultural life.
Robison has commissioned works for flute and orchestra by Leon Kirchner, Toru Takemitsu, Oliver Knussen, Kenneth Frazelle, and Robert Beaser.
