Paula Robison, b. June 8, 1941, Nashville, Tennessee
Musician, Flutist, Teacher, Donna Hieken Flute Chair, New England Conservatory
B.S., The Juilliard School; D.M.A. honoris causa, San Francisco Conservatory
Paula Robison was recognized early as one of the great solo flutists of her generation, at a time when few if any had careers outside an orchestra. Her broad education, however, developed in the highly cultivated and morally conscious family environment she grew up in and in her training with outstanding teachers, has given her a passion for theater, dance, and all the arts, as well as a humanistic perspective on music and the instrument she plays. Ms. Robison puts this to work in her teaching and in her collaborative work with contemporary music groups like Argento New Music and in museum contexts.

“When I develop my recipes I always look for ways to create what I call the Big Taste. While I enjoy eating simple grilled foods, what interests me when I cook are dishes with a taste that is fully dimensional.”
