Densi
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

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.
