In 2010 Robin purchased a beautiful Steinway piano, hoping that he could convince students and faculty members from New York’s prestigious music conservatories to offer salon concerts in his apartment on the Upper West Side. Over time his idea blossomed into a monthly gathering of classical music lovers, outstanding musicians, and opera singers. The Shoemaker salon concert series has become a part of New York City’s vibrant music scene.
