The Columbia Orchestra

Susan Dudley, First Violin

Columbia Orchestra Member Since: 2002

  • I started playing the violin in the 3rd grade thanks to my sister, fellow violinist Robin Strempek.
  • Aside from Orchestra, I am a HUGE football fan and a member of Baltimore’s Marching Ravens. I’m on the flagline and have been a member since 2006.
  • I have a Bachelor’s degree from Towson University where I majored in Visual Arts. I also have a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Maryland.
  • During the day I work for the Federal Government as an I.T. Specialist. I mainly work on software validation.
