Dr. Rideout is an active performer, on both modern and Baroque viola, and has appeared in major concert halls from North America to Japan and Austria, including New York’s Carnegie Hall, Boston’s Symphony Hall, Izumi Hall in Japan, and the Banff Centre in Canada. Her work in chamber music and early music settings has led to a recent appearance as a guest artist with the Avalon String Quartet (former winners of the Fischoff Competition), as well as performances with members of ensembles such as the Emerson and Muir String Quartets, Boston Baroque, and Handel and Haydn Society. Her extensive work in period instrument (Baroque) ensembles has led to her developing workshops that introduce students of any level to Baroque style; she has given these presentations around the country, most recently at Suzuki institutes in San Diego and Washington, D.C.
