Working as a solo artist and as a founding member of the highly acclaimed Polygraph Lounge duo with  multi-instrumentalist Mark Stewart (Bang On A Can Allstars/Paul Simon) Rob's solo piano playing on his CD "Beyond The Sky" has been widely lauded in both classical and jazz publications: Hailed as "Extraordinary" in Gramophone and "Shaping up to be the finest solo piano CD of the year" in The NYC Jazz Record while The New York Times praised his "…machine-gun speed and clarity." Schwimmer has also recently performed his own version of Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue with orchestra. Rob was commissioned by The Metropolitan Museum last season to write new music for the 50th anniversary showing of the movie “A Charlie Brown Christmas” which he performed live with trio. For this year’s Metropolitan Museum commission Rob will be doing the same with “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” for jazz quartet.  Schwimmer is also one of the few pianists chosen for silent movie accompaniment at The Museum of Modern Art. Rob's other commissions include Carnegie Hall and a new work for The Metropolitan Museum. With Mark Stewart, Polygraph Lounge has received 2 commissions from Carnegie Hall for full length concerts.
Among other works, Rob will play selections from his new album “Heart of Hearing”.
