ROBERT TAYLOR (Co-lyricist and Co-librettist) began writing poetry and lyrics at the age of eight. His love of music, languages, literature, and birds, has led him to a lifetime of study and travel. A graduate of Holland's Royal Conservatory, Union College, the University of Bonn, and Princeton, he has taught foreign languages and ornithology in New York, English and music in China, served as music critic for the Albany Times Union, worked as a freelance musician and writer in Manhattan, a translator in Europe and Asia, lectured on opera and art history, tried to stay in shape, and generally had a great time. Currently in cahoots with Richard Oberacker on the two shows: JOURNEY TO THE WEST and SOUTHERN CROSS.
