Very few of us make a living doing something that we started at age four. That’s when Jennifer DeVore began playing the cello. In the interview, I learned how her path has unfolded since then and what it takes to make it as a freelance musician in New York.
About Jennifer DeVore: DeVore received a B.A. in Art History from Harvard University before earning her Masters degree from the New England Conservatory. She is half of Zentripetal Duo, a violin/cello combo that performs frequently around New York City. She is also a member of the Harrisburg Symphony and a teacher affiliated with the Packer Institute in Brooklyn.
Over the years, DeVore has appeared at Lincoln Center, Merkin Hall, Zankel Hall, and Weill Hall, as well as concerts in Europe, Asia, Israel, and Costa Rica. A champion of contemporary music, she has worked closely with composers John Cage, Ornette Coleman, and John Zorn, and her diverse interests have led to recordings and performances with artists such as Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, Josh Groban, Suzanne Vega, and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
