Reginald Robinson’s music has been used in theater and film. In 2004, he was awarded the rare and distinguished John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Award for his innovative ragtime piano works and music research. In 2018 Robinson was commissioned by pianist Norman Malone and Kartemquin Films to compose a ragtime work for the left hand and premiered a suite of tunes in tribute to pioneer African American bandleader James Reese Europe commissioned by Symphony Center Presents.
In 2019 Robinson collaborated with MacArthur fellows Susan Sygall (CEO of Mobility InternationalUSA and the Women’s Institute on Leadership & Disability) and flutist Claire Chase for a special music concert of disability activism and artistry. Reginald was recently a special guest performer at Lapham’s Quarterly Decades Ball - The 1900s. In addition to concertizing, Robinson is internationally known for his lectures at colleges and universities, which have aided in preserving the legacy of African American history.
