Wayne DeVeydt

 

Great Homes Great Music, the American Pianists Association's signature fundraising event, is just around the corner! These exclusive events are held in beautiful private homes. A biennial highlight, the program includes home tours, cocktails, musical performances and more.

This year's event will be hosted by Wayne DeVeydt and Michele Jackson DeVeydt at their beautiful estate in Fishers, Indiana. The evening will feature performances by 2013 American Pianists Awards winner Sean Chen and 2015 American Pianists Awards winner Sullivan Fortner with guest jazz vocalist Valerie Phelps.

Wayne, who spent nine years as CFO of Anthem Inc., retired in June to focus on family and philanthropy. Michelle is a practicing attorney and founder of Global Orphan Foundation. We recently visited Wayne at their home to discuss music, the value of hard work and the uniqueness of piano.
