Violin

Since beginning his violin studies as a child, Devan has gone on to study and perform with some exceptional musicians. He received his Bachelors of Music in violin performance at North Park University in Chicago, IL while studying with both the assistant concertmaster and principal violist of the Chicago Symphony. Devan then went on to study with Young-Nam Kim from the University of Minnesota, Lina Bahn at the University of Colorado, Boulder and most recently with the Minnesota Orchestra’s Rebecca Corruccini. As a performer, Devan concertizes regularly with The Laurels String Quartet, The Charles Gorczynski Tango Quartet and the 10th Wave Chamber collective. As a teacher, he maintains a studio of 40+ students and frequently coaches small chamber ensembles.

When not in a teaching studio or performing, Devan enjoys gardening, binging on YouTube, crafting, and cuddling with his adult kitten.
