Picture ofDensi Rushing, Professor of Violin for Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, began playing the violin at age seven in her hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico. She attained degrees in both Music Performance and Music Education from SNU, and began a career in the Putnam City Schools, teaching elementary, junior, and senior high orchestra for 14 years, helping to develop one of the most highly rated orchestra programs in the Midwest. Densi currently performs with the Oklahoma City Philharmonic, Lyric Theatre Orchestra and Go for Baroque. She is quite busy as a freelance violinist and private studio instructor. Her love of bluegrass and Celtic music led to solo performances at the Oklahoma and Grapevine (TX) Oprys, studio recordings and membership in Country Sun, a bluegrass/gospel band with Rocky Gribble. Other past credits include The Chamber Orchestra of Albuquerque, Lawton Philharmonic, Enid Philharmonic, SNU Metropolitan Orchestra, OKC First Church of the Nazarene Orchestra, and upon occasion Concertmaster of the Oklahoma City Philharmonic. Her teachers include Harold Krumm, Barbara Gabbert, James Bonnell, Dr. Leonard Felberg, Ann Strong, Dr. Roger Strong, Eudice Shapiro, Michael Ma, and Felicia Moye. She enjoys camping, hiking, fishing, mountain biking and off-roading in her Jeep with her husband Rick and son Sawyer. Densi is the proud owner/handler/breeder of Red Earth Rhodesian Ridgebacks and enjoys competing in conformation and lure-coursing trials with her dogs.
