Lawrence Suvak (Raleigh, NC) After Brecksville High,   Larry graduated Baldwin-Wallace College, with a degree in music education.  After teaching in the public schools of Michigan and New Jersey, Larry did his graduate work at the New England Conservatory.

After teaching in the public schools in Massachusetts, Larry joined the faculty of Berklee College of Music, where he taught for twenty years in the Music Education Department.

In 1996, a part-time teaching position became available at UNC-Wilmington, so Larry moved south to a warmer clime.  It was at this time, because of the part-time position, that Larry was able to do more and more playing.  He did a lot of work in Myrtle Beach, including playing in the Jimmy Dorsey band, theatre, the Myrtle Beach Symphony, and faculty concerts at UNC.

In 2003, Larry moved to Raleigh, stopped teaching altogether, and did only performance, mostly theatre.  He works in North Carolina Theatre, a professional theatre group, and also does many of the National Tours that come through Raleigh.

Larry has been married to Samantha for twenty years.  He has three grown children, and nine grandchildren, age five to twenty.

Larry and Sam sail their boat in Oriental, the sailing capital of North Carolina.  He also enjoys photography and spending time with his children and grandchildren.
