Bio
Johnathan Devey is a 19 year-old aspiring concert pianist living in Victoria, B.C. Born in Tokyo, he started piano lessons at age 5 and since then has always dreamed of sharing his music with the world. He started winning awards in the North Shore Musical Festival in Vancouver and the European International Piano Concours in Japan. Since moving to Victoria, Johnathan immersed himself in music-making through piano lessons with Linda Low, chamber music in the Collegium program, and as a frequent soloist with the VCM Senior Strings Orchestra. He participated in the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival every year, winning the City of Victoria Medallion, the highest award for piano, in 2019, and representing Victoria at the B.C. Provincial Festival twice. He now studies in the music program of the University of Victoria under Professor May Ling Kwok. In 2020, he won the British Columbia Registered Music Teachers Association’s piano competition, which will take him on a “virtual” tour of the province, and to the Canadian Federation of Music Teacher Associations’ national piano competition this year. Also in 2021, Johnathan is hoping to attend the Mozarteum Summer Academy in Salzburg, Austria under the Strauss Foundation Scholarship. Johnathan enjoys sharing his musical journey of exploration with audiences, with a style that reflects a true passion for life.
