Rob has performed nationally and internationally with groups of many different styles, including opening for B.B. King and Tower of Power, playing viola and violin with the Trans Siberian Orchestra and YouTube star Jacob Collier, upright bass in an Argentine tango ensemble, mandolin and fiddle in various bluegrass bands, electric violin and synthesizers in Billy Wylder and several other rock bands, collaborations with modern dancers, and more. As a composer Rob has written music for choreographers, film (including work on projects for James Franco and Anthony Bourdain), and several original projects. Rob is a graduate of the New England Conservatory, and he currently lives in Boston. _______________ COVID PROTOCOL - 𝗡𝗢 𝗩𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗥𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗥𝗘𝗗 - 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗧𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗦 & 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗞𝗦 𝗔𝗩𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗔𝗧 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧 - Hand sanitizer as you enter - Sign-in sheet for contact tracing - Well ventilated space - Speak boundaries & preferences in opening circle - Do not attend, if you have any symptoms or if you have been exposed to someone with COVID within 3 days of the event. _______________ 𝗔𝗕𝗖𝗗 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: This contact improvisation jam welcomes individuals of all identities, abilities, body types, and backgrounds.
