Evan Christopher at Mackenzie Hall

Returning to Mackenzie Hall after his 2019 triumph, Evan Christopher is one of the world’s leading performers in the New Orleans “Creole Style” of clarinet. His breath-taking command, coupled with unending musical improvisation preserves but expands the musical heritage of early masters of New Orleans clarinet such as Barney Bigard, Sidney Bechet, Albert Nicholas, Edmund Hall and Omer Simeon.

His repertoire encompasses classics of early jazz, overlooked or forgotten masterpieces, as well as originals. Listeners will experience a living history of jazz clarinet, with a look at its future as Evan presents his “contemporary traditional jazz”. Evan has performed on major stages around the world and is featured at Jazz at Lincoln Center.
