Before he could speak, Dayvin Hallmon showed an awareness for and love of music. When he was just five years old, he began taking piano lessons. Later, he studied clarinet and saxophone. A few years after that, Dayvin began studying the violin and viola. Perfectly at home in both Gospel and Western classical traditions, Dayvin worked as assistant concertmaster of the Church of God In Christ International Orchestra for seven years. Noting the unique musical lineage of Dayvin’s teachers, he's a grandchild of Jascha Heifetz, Dr. Thomas Dorsey, and Dr. Mattie Moss Clark. Dayvin draws from their backgrounds and traditions for building ensembles in churches, and helping congregations craft strategic visions for their music ministries. He's founder and music director of The Black String Triage Ensemble. Aside from this ensemble that plays at the scene of shootings and sites of civil unrest to keep the peace, the organization also includes The Black Diaspora Symphony Orchestra. In January 2023, Dayvin became assistant conductor for Milwaukee’s Concord Chamber Orchestra.
