Performance Feast Episode #1: Robert Robinson

Great Northern Union presents Performance Feast episode #1 featuring Robert Robinson!
Named "Minnesota's greatest gospel singer” by the Star Tribune, Robert Robinson has been on the Twin Cites music scene for decades. He has performed alongside greats such as Aretha Franklin, Barry Manilow, Jermain Jackson and Bobby McFerrin. He once even opened one of Prince's birthdays.
When he's not performing, Robinson gives back to his community, ministering in prisons and serving as a master clinician in schools and communities across the country. He has more than a dozen solo recordings to his credit.
ABOUT PERFORMANCE FEAST
As artists, we believe that a powerful and truly engaging performance can inspire people, build communities, and connect humanity.
Performance Feast is a 12-week educational web series sponsored by Great Northern Union Chorus and hosted by Artistic Director Mo Field, and guest co-hosted by a series of performing artists from Minnesota and beyond.
The series will gather musical leaders and artists from a diverse range of singing ensembles and community arts groups to witness and discuss high level artistic performances that are thrilling, engaging, moving and enriching. Participants will do a deep dive on each performance, reflecting on the nuance, skill and impact of each work. Through this shared experience we strive to inspire artists to consider how their own artistic skills might be advanced to better connect their own performances to humanity.

This series is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
