Ellen Robinson

Born:

In an art form awash with ingenues and shiny singers newly minted from music school, Ellen Robinson’s emergence is a breath of fresh air.

Ellen Robinson: Mercy!

Read "Mercy!" reviewed by Jim Santella


The vocal duet that Ellen Robinson and Ben Flint sing on “The Dimming of the Day comes with a heartfelt message all its own. That's her forte.
