Behind every performance of the DEVO Chamber Orchestra is a remarkable group of people bringing their talents from all walks of life to the stage.

Our orchestra is made up of professionals, educators, creatives and students — including doctors, pharmacists, lawyers, architects, teachers, academics, and more — all united by a shared passion for music.

DEVO celebrates the diverse community behind the orchestra and highlights how music brings people together across professions, generations and experiences.

The orchestra is more than just music — it is a reflection of the incredible people within our city.
