Bio

Sue (Radner) Horowitz spent her childhood in New Rochelle, New York. She attended New Rochelle High School, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Buffalo, and got her masters degree from CUNY Queens College. Sue spent a lot of time at Temple Israel in New Rochelle, where she drove many a teacher to early retirement. She spent her childhood involved in music, drama, and NFTY. Sue taught guitar and was a camp songleader.

In the 80's,she played with several groups that offered folk, pop, and oldies music. There were many big hair-dos, shiny outfits, and sky-high shoulder pads. Sue worked as a pediatric speech-language pathologist for 12 years in New York. She worked with young children with disabilities in rehabilitation and taught at NYU for a short time.

After her move to Maine in 1998, she became song leader then education director at Temple Israel in Dover, New Hampshire. Sue enjoyed summers (but not the heat or bugs) at URJ Crane Lake Camp as faculty and songleader. She also sang on the Seacoast in a trio with friends. She is currently working in special education and teaching Jewish music at several local temples.

Through her friendship and working relationship with Rabbi Lev Baesh, she began writing songs for Jewish settings which she hoped would be accessible to anyone who wanted to sing. Her first CD, Eleven Doors Open, was made with Josh Nelson. Sue currently lives in York, Maine with her supportive and "unique" family: oncologist husband Rob, children Jacob and Emily, and two dumb but lovable retreivers.
