Description

Hosted by Lance Chase, this episode of Focus Hawaii features acclaimed vocalists Clayne and Vivien Robinson, visiting Hawai‘i as featured soloists for Mendelssohn’s Elijah oratorio. The husband‑and‑wife performers share their personal journeys in music, faith, and family life, tracing Clayne’s path from Harvard law school to a doctorate in music and leadership in opera education, and Vivien’s decision to balance her exceptional vocal talent with a deep commitment to raising their six children. Through thoughtful conversation, they explore themes of artistic balance, the role of fine arts in education, classical versus popular vocal traditions, and the importance of exposing young people to creative expression. Their reflections underscore the value of music not only as performance, but as a lifelong, enriching experience deeply connected to personal growth, family priorities, and community involvement.
