Suzanne Torrey

Classical music and musical theatre have always been an important part of Suzanne Torrey's life. The violin was her real love and she studied with Theodore Pade and then Efrem Zimbalist at the Curtis Institute of Music. She also started piano in grade school, followed by clarinet.

A love of travel and languages led to a 'second career' as a teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages, where she specialized in writing scientific curriculum for those who had medical careers in their home countries and were seeking training or new certification in the US.

Of her three children it is the mezzo-soprano daughter who inherited the 'music gene' and is now in her senior year as a vocal performance major at a top-tier conservatory. Suzanne's partner is from Spain and they now make their home in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
