Peter Evans: Classical Musician in New York

About Peter Evans

Peter Evans is an American trumpeter whose work moves between contemporary classical contexts and the open forms of free improvisation. In New York City he has appeared at Roulette, including Aaron Burnett and the Big Machine’s *Quantum Breaks II* alongside Nick Jozwiak, Carlos Homs, and composer–multi-instrumentalist Tyshawn Sorey. His playing is rooted in avant-garde practice and a close attention to ensemble dynamics. The results tend to favor precision and risk over display.
