BIO


Jeremiah Evans (b. 1978) is an eclectic composer of primarily, piano music and art songs which have been performed nationally, internationally, and most notably, included in RISING (Warner Classics/ Erato) which was nominated for "Best Classical Solo Vocal Album" at the 66th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, CA. The album featured international opera sensation, Lawrence Brownlee and pianist, Kevin J. Miller. His music has also been included in the album, What Dreams We Have (Lexicon Classics) which debuted on Billboard's Top 10 Traditional Classical Chart, and features GRAMMY AWARD WINNING baritone, Kenneth Overton and pianist, Casey Robards.


Selected piano works by Jeremiah Evans will be included in two innovative projects during the 2024-25 concert season: 1) The American Mavericks Project in New York City (Chelsea Randall, piano) celebrating seldom-heard, newly discovered and contemporary solo piano music by Black American composers & 2) The American Evolution (Kris Carlisle, piano, recipient of The American Prize in Piano) which looks at the ways contemporary American composers use traditional genres of composition, providing performances and recordings of this important music. A recording is planned for the summer of 2025.
 

His music has been performed at Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, The 16th London New Wind Festival, South Africa's National Arts Festival, the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam (the Netherlands), Princeton University Concerts, The Celebrity Series of Boston, The Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, The Dallas Opera's Titus Art Song Series, and the Knoxville Opera/NATS. His music has also been performed at the International Double Reed Society, The College Music Society, The National Federation of Music Clubs, by The African American Composer Initiative, and The African American Art Song Alliance.


His songs have been included in concert programming described by The Boston Globe as "powerful". Also, his songs have been described by The Washington Classical Review as having "...surprising twists, as well as a pleasing melodic style", while some of his piano music has been described as being inspired by "urban sounds", having "jazzy inflections", and "an Impressionist milkiness" by The New York Times. He has been included among "consummate melodists" by OperaWire.

He has been recognized as a finalist-composer in The New York City Contemporary Music Symposium (Three Inventions for piano) and winner of the Locrian Chamber Players- call for scores in New York City (Five Pages from a City Journal for piano). His art songs have been selected as winning compositions in calls for scores of Calliope's Call in Boston, MA and Opera Contempo in Salt Lake City, UT. His solo wind music has won calls for scores including those of the 16th London New Wind Festival and reNEW Music, Reno, NV. 


His songs are listed in Thomas Hampson's Song of America and he has been a guest composer at the University of Michigan School of Music. His music has been broadcast over WRR, Classical 101.1 FM in Dallas, TX and Revolution Per Minute, hosted by pianist, Sarah Cahill, KALW in the San Francisco Bay Area. His music has also been recorded live for streaming on Passport, PBS. He currently resides in his hometown of Dallas, TX.

SPOTLIGHT 

Here, I'd like to highlight

recent & notable scores 

CONCERTO

for piano & string orchestra

by Jeremiah Evans

My recently revised Concerto is

cast in 4 compact movements:

1) Prelude variations, 2) Scherzo,

3) Fantasy, & 4) Toccata.

I sketched this work out in

college over 20 years ago

but lost track of the manuscript

until it was rediscovered at the

bottom a box of papers

that had been misplaced. Over

the past year or so, I have

revised the piece and have

realized my life-long dream of

completing my favorite of

all the large-scale genres of

classical repertoire-

The Piano Concerto

00:00 / 16:31
