Welcome to Season 4, Episode 9. We had a lot of fun talking to Dr. Xenia Deviatkina-Loh about her life, her career, and her work with the Asian Classical Music Initiative. Dr. Deviatkina-Loh performs on violin and viola, and she is also a pedagogue, sharing her knowledge in various settings across the world. She’s the president of the 2024 ACMI @ MSMU conference at Mount Saint Mary’s University on April 13-14, 2024. It’s open to the public and will feature performers, composers, and scholars.
Originally from Australia, Dr. Deviatkina-Loh received her Bachelor of Music in Performance at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music before furthering her studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London for her Master of Arts degree and then the University of California, Los Angeles for her Doctor of Musical Arts degree in 2020. She has performed as a soloist and recitalist internationally in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, The US, and China. Her solo album Soliloquy as well as her collaborations can be found on pretty much any music platform out there.
As a pedagogue, she’s been a speaker and presented at conferences including the Alliance of Women in Media Arts and Technology and the Asian Classical Music Initiative, and also worked as a Teaching Assistant and Fellow at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, the Beckman YOLA Center, and for the International Grand Music Festival in Indonesia.
