Flutist Paula Robison’s elegant artistry and passionate intellect have inspired the musical world. Born to a family of writers, actors, dancers and musicians, her groundbreaking performances have made her a role model for young flutists everywhere. Beyond the concert stage, her projects intermingling the visual and musical arts, her many recordings, her master classes, and her books on the art of flute playing have earned her renown and respect with a diverse audience.

One of Paula Robison's favorite continuing projects is “With Art”: collaborations with visual artists in unusual spaces. In the fall of 2005, Ms. Robison – as Artist-In-Residence at the Gardner Museum– initiated “Variations on a Theme,” a collaborative project with the great conceptual artist Sol LeWitt and curator Pieranna Cavalchini. On view in the Special Exhibition gallery was a site specific wall drawing with daily performances at random hours of chamber music masterpieces for the flute. Ms. Robison is also an artistic director of the Gardner Chamber Orchestra.
