Heavyn Dyer-Jones

Heavyn Dyer-Jones is a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin- Madison, receiving a Bachelors of Arts in Piano Performance. From being a guest performer at Lincoln Center in New York, to the stages of Kresge Hall at Interlochen Camp, Heavyn has experienced performance not only in the medium of piano performance, but of voice, visual art, and poetry. She is a First Wave scholar as well as an Elsa Pool Scholar with the UW Madison Mead Witter School of Music. As of late, Heavyn has made a point in studying underrepresented classical composers in particular, and building her professional repertoire with a spectrum of classical pieces and composers that are often overlooked. Since being accepted into UW- Madison’s First Wave Hip Hop and Urban Arts Scholarship program, she has expanded her artistic and creative interests into the musicology of world music, or Ethnomusicology, and hopes to continue to learn and grow within her community.
