Sue Rabut studied violin with Roman Totenberg in the undergraduate program at Boston University's
School for the Arts. She freelanced in Boston and played with Sarah Caldwell's Opera Company of
Boston, Virginia Opera, Des Moines Opera and Boris Goldovsky's touring opera orchestra. Sue was
chosen by audition to be a violinist in the Apple Hill Chamber Players, a nationally touring chamber
group based in New Hampshire which also runs a summer institute for chamber music, coaching
intergenerational groups of students. Following her 5-year tenure with Apple Hill, she returned to
Boston for an appointment as second violinist with the Boston Composers String Quartet, which
specialized in contemporary music and brought a six-chapter music history curriculum into the public
schools. That quartet was disbanded in 1997 when two members began families, which prompted a
return for her to freelancing in Boston.
Sue was concertmaster of Opera North in New Hampshire for seven years, and has been a regular member of the New Hampshire, Vermont and Springfield Symphonies, and the Boston Pops Esplanade orchestra, as well as a substitute with the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood. Ms. Rabut joined the Glimmerglass Opera in 1992, winning the position of Principal Second Violin in 1993, in which capacity she served until 1996. After an eight-year hiatus, she re-auditioned in 2005 and rejoined the Glimmerglass violin section, where she has served as Acting Associate Concertmaster for the last two seasons.
Ms. Rabut is a member of Boston's Lyric Opera, Opera Boston, and Boston Classical Orchestra. She plays period violin with Cecelia Society, Boston Baroque and Handel and Haydn Society, in which group she also holds a position as assistant to the Education director. She teaches violin privately in Boston, where she resides with her ten year old daughter.
