Friday, 28 February, 2025
Peter Evans is a composer, trumpet player, bandleader and educator based in New York City. For 20 years, Evans has been pushing the boundaries of creative music in formats as divergent as solo trumpet improvisation, symphony orchestras, jazz ensembles, noise/electronic music, and through-composed works. He has been the recipient of awards and commissions worldwide including the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in 2022. Additionally, he has released 20 albums of original music including the critically acclaimed Ghosts, Lifeblood and Being & Becoming. A prolific composer and performer, Evans tours regularly with his groups Being & Becoming, SYMPHONY, and Forever 21, as a soloist and collaborator with some of the leading lights of modern music. Ron Stabinsky is probably best known as a member of the notorious bands “Mostly Other People Do The Killing” and the reunited rock band “Meat Puppets”. He has the distinction of performing as a classical solo and orchestral pianist, a straight-ahead jazz musician, occasionally a rock musician, and regularly as an accomplished free improviser. In addition to solo piano improvisation, he enjoys working on music in stylistically diverse situations throughout the United States and Europe with a variety of other musicians and ensembles.
