BIOGRAPHY

CHRISTINE RUTLEDGE, violist, is a musician and educator of eclectic interests and talents. She is equally at home with performances of the most cutting-edge new music, works from the standard rep-ertoire, and performances on baroque viola. She has commissioned, premiered, and recorded new music by such composers as Claude Baker, Zae Munn, Jeremy Dale Roberts, C. .P. First, and David Gompper, with whom she frequently collaborates with the Center for New Music. Her performances and recordings ( 7he Blissful Violist, String Trios of Paul Hindemith, and David Diamond· Chamber Works for Strings and Piano) have been praised in such publications as 7he Strad, Fanfare, 7he New York Times, and 7he New York Concert Review.

In an effort to provide violists with a larger and historically accurate body of baroque repertoire, Rutledge founded Linnet Press Editions. Her transcriptions of works by Telemann, J. S. Bach, Biber, Roman, and Pisendel have been widely received for their historic accuracy and performer-friendly presentations. Rutledge has expanded Linnet Press Editions to include new editions of many our-of-print compositions from the English Romantic period, especially works written for the virtuoso violist Lionel Terris. Her technique book, "The Violist's Handbook," has sold hundreds of copies throughout the world.

Recent performances, masterclasses, and presentations on Baroque performance practices include chose in Germany, Sweden, South Africa, New York City, University of Michigan Oberlin Conservatory, Ari-zona Stace University, University of Arizona, University of Northern Arizona, University of Kansas, and Bowling Green State University.

Currently, Rutledge holds the position of associate professor of viola at The University of Iowa. She has served on the executive board of the American Viola Society, and is president of the Iowa Viola Society. For six years she was assistant principal viola of the Louisville Orchestra and violist of the Ceruti Cham-ber Players and the Kentucky Center Chamber Players. She has also been a member of the faculty at the University of Notre Dame. Festival appearances include Interlochen Center for the Arts, Bay View Music Festival, Roycroft Music Festival Sewanee Summer Music Center, "Brunch with Bach" series at the Detroit Institute of Art, Manitou Music Festival, Hot Springs Music Festival, and the Fontana Chamber Arts Festival.

Rutledge is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music as a student of Karen Tuttle and Michael Tree, and The University oflowa with William Preucil, Sr. She is al.so a graduate of the Interlochen Arts Academy, where she was honored as valedictorian and recipient of a Young Artist Award. Among her many honors are prizewinner in the Aspen Festival Viola Competition, an Indiana Arcs Commission Individual Artist's Fellowship, recipient of an Eli Lilly Foundation grant for undergraduate teaching development, as well as several awards from the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts at the University of Notre Dame and the Arts and Humanities Initiative at The University of Iowa.
