Robin Spielberg Biography

With interests in both theater and music, Robin Spielberg earned a B.F.A. in drama from New York University. As a founding member of the Atlantic Theater Company, she has acted in dozens of off-Broadway plays, radio dramas, and composed several original scores while building a career as one of the premiere piano performers in New York’s piano rooms.


Robin Spielberg is a Steinway Artist, and has been hailed as one of America’s most popular contemporary female pianists/com- posers and has been featured in live performances on PBS, CBS Saturday Morning, ABC News, Lifetime Live, and NPR. She has played sold out performances at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Concert Hall three times. Spielberg’s has toured South Korea several times and in 2019 embarked on a three week concert tour of China where she is a bonafide “piano star.” Spielberg’s music has now been heard by over 300 million listeners on Pandora and has had hundreds of millions of plays on Apple Music and Spotify. She has won multiple awards, including a Gold Medal in composing from The Global Music Awards, and The 2024 Grand Prize in the Intercontinental Music Awards for original work for orchestra, “By Way of the Wind." Her albums have charted on Billboard as well as the Zone Music Reporter radio charts.


Spielberg is the author of “Naked on the Bench: My Adventures in Pianoland,” which won the Reader’s Favorite International Book Award contest for best memoir. The memoir demystifies the life of a touring artist with humor, and gives readers an inside look at the sometimes harsh realities of life on the road.


Robin Spielberg is a Celebrity Spokesperson for the American Music Therapy Association. Her popular TEDx TALK on music and wellness has over 400,000 views.

“All the Best Returns” is Robin’s 24th studio album.
