VIOLIN I


Susan Britton


Chamber music being a first love, violinist Susan Britton is happy to have joined City Music in 2017. Currently, she also plays with the BlueWater Chamber Orchestra, Akron Symphony and Cleveland Chamber Symphony. Formerly she has been a member of red ( an orchestra), Trinity Chamber Orchestra, Ohio Chamber Orchestra, Cleveland Opera and Ballet and the Canton Symphony.

Further afield she has performed at the Chiesa della Pieta in Venice Italy and the Basilica of Sant’Eufemia in Grado Italy with the Free Stamp Quartet as well as recording modern works for violin and piano in Udine Italy.

Chamber music has brought her to festivals including Taos, Norfolk, Adirondack, Grand Cayman Island and the Castle Festival in Heidelberg Germany.

Ms. Britton has performed as a soloist with the Wooster Symphony and the Trinity Chamber Orchestra, also offering recitals at Plymouth Church’s Herr Chapel. She has played numerous concerts featuring works for piano trio at Trinity Cathedral.

Her studies include degrees from the Eastman School of Music, University of Michigan and the Cleveland Institute under the guidance of teachers Zvi Zeitlin, Camilla Wickes, Donald Weilerstein and Peter Salaff.

Although Susan has found a home in the musical landscape of Cleveland, the forests and lakes of her native Upper Peninsula of Michigan are forever her source of inspiration.
