 Susan Robinson is the principal harpist of the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra, a position she has held since 1995. She also serves as the principal harpist of the Boston ‘POPS' Esplanade Orchestra, with whom she frequently tours the Far East and the US. An avid performer of chamber music, Susan performs and records with the Washington, D.C.-based 21st Century Consort, and the Boston-based ensemble Walden Chamber Players. She and her husband, violinist Joseph Scheer, are the founders of the IBIS Chamber Music Society, and together they have released the CD "Souvenir: Music for Violin and Harp" on their IBIS Records label.
A native of Boston, Susan performs with the Boston Symphony as often as her schedule permits. Previously, Susan served as the acting principal harpist of Tampa's Florida Orchestra and the Sarasota Opera Festival.
Among Susan's solo engagements are a performance of Mozart's Concerto for Flute and Harp in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall with KCOHO principal flutist Adria Sternstein and the Opera House Orchestra under Heinz Fricke, and appearances with the Indian Hill Symphony, the New Hampshire Philharmonic, the Rhode Island Chamber Orchestra, and the Dedham (MA) Choral Society. Other memorable career highlights: an exciting trip to the Super Bowl with the Boston POPS (Patriots won!) and of course, the opportunity to work with the incomparable Placido Domingo at the Washington Opera.
Susan is a graduate of Harvard University with a cum laude degree in Art History and French Literature. She also holds an Artist Diploma in Harp Performance from the Boston University School for the Arts. She and Joseph are the parents of Lillie and Nathanael.
