In the organizer's words:
20:00 I Concert I Concert hall
Since 2002, Peter Evans has been redefining what it means to play solo on the trumpet. Far from a conventional recitalist, Evans creates an immediate, sculptural sound world that dissolves the boundary between composer and improviser, music and physicality. His performances are not just concerts - they are acts of sonic exploration that challenge the very idea of what an instrument can be.
A pioneer of solo trumpet performance, Evans gained early recognition with More is More (2006, psi) and has since carved out a language that transcends traditional and 'extended' techniques. His mastery of the instrument is complete: Breath, valves and embouchure are manipulated with astonishing agility to produce a spectrum of sounds - piercing harmonies, guttural murmurs, mechanized rhythms and kaleidoscopic microtonal textures.
What makes Evans' solo performances exceptional is their fusion of extreme technical control with improvisational freedom. Each set is a living composition that adapts to the acoustics of the room, the energy of the audience and even the spatial dynamics of the performance venue. Rather than conforming to genre expectations - whether jazz, new music or experimental - Evans synthesizes them all and then dismantles the framework entirely.
The result is a performance that is at once passionately intellectual and deeply physical. As The New York Times described it, Evans unleashes "a torrent of breathtaking, athletic and often unsettling virtuosity" that leaves the listener both awestruck and unsettled. His concerts are unpredictable, uncompromising and utterly captivating.
