Robyn Helzner radiates a passion for Jewish music that captivates listeners. A leading interpreter of world Jewish music, Robyn has appeared in concerts throughout North America and in Amsterdam, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

She has released five recordings: “Hearts Awaken,” “A Fire Burns,” “Signs & Wonders,” “Clap Your Hands” and “I Live in the City,” beloved by children worldwide.
