<p>Susan Waterbury joined the Red Newt family (and the Whiting family) in 2014.&nbsp; Her career as a professional violinist and professor at Ithaca College makes Susan the perfect fit for heading up the burgeoning music program at Red Newt.&nbsp;&nbsp; The addition of a world class Mason &amp; Hamlin grand piano has created a centerpiece for the evening classical chamber recitals, and is a joy for lunchtime performances by jazz pianists and singer-songwriters. Prior to joining the faculty at IC, Susan toured for over a decade as a founding member of the Cavani String Quartet.</p>
