Evans has been performing and recording solo trumpet music since 2003 and is widely recognized as a leading voice in that field. He has been commissioned by the International Contemporary Ensemble, Yarn/Wire, the Donaueschingen Musiktage Festival, the Jerome Foundation’s Emerging Artist Program and is a 2014 Artist-in-Residence at Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, NY.
