He created and directed chamber music residencies for his Philharmonic colleagues at <br /> The Homestead, a five-star resort in Hot Springs, Virginia, and at Hotel Hershey in Hershey, Pennsylvania. <br /> In the spring of 2003 he produced "Prelude to Piano," an event that involved pianist Emmanuel Ax and <br /> fifteen other professionals in joint performances with students at Northern Valley High School in Demarest, <br /> New Jersey, and that raised nearly $100,000 for purchase of the school's new Steinway B. (See Fundraising <br /> for more information about fundr~aising projects.) <br /> Named a charter member of the Board of Overseers of The Laijis Tiastwir, Qf M isi .in Philadelphia-as well <br /> as of the Thomas S. Kenan Institute of the Arts, Joseph Robinson helped organize the Children's Meixy-Go- <br /> Round, Inc., a not-for-profit organization aspiring to build a carousel for peace in Israel. In 1976 he created <br /> 'in honor of his teacher the John Mack Oboe Camp at Little Switzerland, North Carolina—one of the most <br /> successful specialty seminars of its kind in the world, and for three years he headed a national advisory <br /> committee for Oberlin ,oll_ege Cmsoxawa. As president of the Grand Teton Orchestral Seminar, he helped <br /> develop unique orchestral training that inspired imitation in the first Master of Orchestral Performance degree <br /> in American higher education—atManha tan SCllool of Music, where Mr. Robinson was department chair for <br /> the program and head of Oboe Studies. In Riverside Church in New York City on May 15, 2005 he received <br /> the Presidential Medal—Manhattan's highest award--for twenty-seven years of meritorious faculty service to <br /> the School. <br /> Joseph Robinson's career as an oboist began effectively with his appointment by Music Director Robert <br /> Shaw to the principal chair of the Atlanta Symphony in 1967. From 1974 until 1975 he was Instructor of <br /> Oboe at the North Carolina School of the Arts, during which time he served as a member of the Clarion <br /> Woodwind Qrdntet and the Piedmont Chamber Orchestra. He also served as volunteer principal oboe and <br /> member of the board of directors of the Winston-Salem Symphony. He won the New York Philharmonic <br /> Principal Oboe audition in December, 1977, following a tour the previous summer in which he was Acting <br /> Assistant Principal with the Cleveland Orchestra. Despite an invitation from Music Director Seiji Ozawa <br /> following a week of concerts as guest oboist with his orchestra, Joseph Robinson declined to join the Boston <br /> aXW12honv in the spring of 1989. <br /> A native of Lenoir, North Carolina, Joseph Robinson majored in English and economics at Davidson College, <br /> where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and earned a Fulbright Award for study of federal governmental <br /> support to the arts in Germany. It was during this post-graduate year in Europe that he met Marcel Tabuteau <br /> and became that great teacher's first student in the ten years following Mr. Tabuteau's retirement from the <br /> Philadelphia Orchestra. A frequent public speaker, he has keynoted the Wyoming Governor's Conference on <br /> the Arts in Cheyenne and the Association of North Carolina Symphony Orchestras in Raleigh, and has <br /> lectured widely on orchestra governance as well as the interpretative art of music. He is author of several <br /> published articles, including one in the Wilson Quarterly concerning the need to reintroduce instrumental <br /> training in the nation's public schools; another in Instrumentalist dealing with fundamentals of oboe playing; <br /> and still another in HannQny that recommends a competitive format as a way of increasing public interest in <br /> orchestra concerts. As a demonstration of this competitive potential for orchestras, Mr. Robinson and his <br /> counterpart Richard Woodhams, produced a concert performed jointly by players from the Philadclj2 a_ <br /> Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic in Camden, New Jersey in November 1996—an unprecedented <br /> event hailed by The New York Times as "a classic battle of the bands." <br /> His invitation to Johanna Johnson, a 16-year-old oboe-playing cancer patient from California, that permitted <br /> her to fulfill a Make-A-Mah Foundation dream by performing in the New York Philharmonic, sparked <br /> international interest in December 2000, In April 2005 he joined Johanna Johnson for her senior recital at <br /> Gustavus-Adolphus College in Minnesota. <br />
