About Evan Drachman

He is the grandson of Gregor Piatigorsky and later founded the Piatigorsky Foundation, where he has focused on bringing live performance to broader audiences. In New York City, he appears at Bargemusic, including programs with violinist Mark Peskanov and pianist Doris Stevenson in trios by Haydn, Brahms, and Dvořák. His playing tends to favor direct communication and structural clarity over display.
