Robert begyndte at dirigere i 1990 og arbejdede oprindeligt med hellig kormusik i over et årti. Efter at have fået adskillige tidlige orkestrale ledelsesmuligheder i 2000 skiftede hans fokus gradvist hen imod specialisering i instrumental musik og især 20. og 21. århundredes repertoire.
Siden da har Robert dirigeret over tredive samtidige værker, herunder fjorten premierer, for forskellige ensembler i Canada og USA, og i øjeblikket er han instruktør og dirigent for Newprism Ensemble (Washington D.C.).
Nedenfor er en liste over moderne musik udført (for det meste) siden 2012.
