Coming from a family of professional musicians, Robin Reed started singing at a very early age, singing in church choirs and community chorales. He has been a professional singer since 1970. He has had many varied appearances in opera, operetta, musical theater, movies and television.
Robin and his family lived in Germany for five years while he was engaged by Stadt Theater Bremerhaven as a leading tenor, singing 25 leading roles. He was also a guest artist in Hamburg, Krefeld, Kassel and Osnabrueck, among other German cities. After returning from Europe, Robin continued as a contract artist with Arizona Opera, Virginia Opera, Sarasota Opera and Los Angeles Opera Theater.
He has made many appearances with symphonic orchestras and prestigious choral societies as a soloist performing works from Bach to Mahler.
Robin created a vast repertoire of solo music from parlor songs to classical and has been in demand as a “one-man-show” since high school.
He is very pleased to be making his Port Townsend Orchestra debut.
Robin and his wife moved to Sequim in 2013 due to their love of nature and their desire to visit as many National Parks as possible. Their honeymoon (41 years ago) was a six-thousand mile camping trip from Los Angeles to Winnipeg to Victoria, BC; then returning through Port Angeles via Highway 101, all the way back to their first home in Pasadena, California.
