Jean Currey, violin, began studying violin at the age of seven. In 1982, she received her Bachelor of Music Education degree from the University of Texas at El Paso. Jean began playing in the El Paso Symphony in 1975 under the direction of Maestro Abraham Chavez, who also became her private instructor.

In 1988, she began serving as the Principal Violist in that symphony and toured Germany under the baton of EPSO's new maestro, Gurer Aykal. She remained in this position until her move to Fort Collins in 1996.

Jean plays regularly with the Greeley Philharmonic and is concertmaster of Ethos West, "the Chamber Orchestra with a broader view".

The String Quartet Con Brio welcomed Jean as a permanent member in 2006. She also performs periodically with Larimer Chorale, Opera Fort Collins and the Cheyenne and Fort Collins Symphonies.
