Susan Pejovich

Adjunct Assistant Professor of Harp

Susan Dederich-Pejovich joined the Oklahoma City Symphony immediately upon graduating from college. She then moved to New Orleans and performed as solo harpist with both the New Orleans Symphony and NO Opera. In 1977, she was hired by Eduardo Mata and the Dallas Symphony and has been principal harpist ever since. While playing in the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, she has appeared numerous times as soloist including the opening season of the Meyerson Symphony Center with Eduardo Mata in Ginastera Concerto, with Andrew Litton in two "Amazing Music" videos, and with James Galway and the Dallas Symphony in the premier of the Lowell Liebermann Concerto for Flute and Harp. She is also active in chamber music and has given the American and North American premieres of several works by American, English, and Czech composers at two International Flute Conventions. In Dallas, she has worked with many composers (such as Crumb, Schwantner, Takemitsu, Berio, Rodriguez, Mamlock, Sargon, and Erb) while playing with the 20th century music ensemble Voices of Change. Susan Dederich-Pejovich was born on Long Island, NY, and attended the Cleveland Institute of Music where she received a Bachelor of Music degree as a student of Alice Chalifoux.
