Robin Spielberg will be playing in concert at the Faulkner Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, April 30.

"Music smooths the rough edges of life," Spielberg said in a recent interview. "It speaks to us when words fail and expresses our deepest emotions."

She discovered her passion for music as a youth and began formal piano lessons at the age of 7. By the time she turned 10, she had composed more than 50 original songs.

Spielberg has been hailed as one of America's most popular contemporary female pianists/composers and has been featured in live performances on such programs as; "The Soul of Christmas: A Celtic Music Celebration with Thomas Moore" and "The Great American Ballroom Challenge" on PBS, CBS Saturday Morning, ABC News, Lifetime Live and NPR.

Spielberg has toured South Korea making concert appearances at the renowned Seoul Arts Center, LG Arts Center and KBS Hall. South Korea's Airiang TV recorded a full concert of Spielberg and broadcast it throughout Asia.
