Cynthia Studenwalt-Wiley, Violinist

Cynthia has been a regular performer with the TCO since 1989. She began her musical studies on piano at age three. By age eleven she became a student of the violin and calls it "her" instrument. A freelance artist, she also performs with the Dallas Opera and Adagio Strings and teaches private lessons. Patrons of the TCO have been captivated by her solo performances of Lark Ascending by R. Vaughan Williams and Four Seasons by Vivaldi.

Susan Younghans, Violinist

By day, she is Director of Orchestras at Lakeview Middle School and she maintains a private teaching studio. Originally from Buffalo, NY, she has performed with the Erie Philharmonic, Wichita Falls Symphony and Richardson Symphony.
