F. Dean Schnacke Chair
Principal Violist Sheridan Currie’s performances as orchestral, solo, and chamber musician have taken her throughout North America and Europe. She was a member of the Lake String Quartet in residence at Yellowstone National Park, and a member of the Masala String Quartet, which premiered works by Bruce Adolphe and Gerhard Samuel and recorded for the Vienna Modern Masters label.
Sheridan earned degrees at Peabody Conservatory and at Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music (CCM), and was assistant to professor Masao Kawasaki and Dr. Catharine Carroll-Lees. She won concerto competitions at CCM and the Aspen Music Festival, and has since appeared as soloist more than a dozen times with orchestras around the country. Currently, she maintains a private studio and teaches at the University of Dayton.
