2.20 Introducing Evan Henry: Cast Chat

Our new producer, Evan Henry, joins us to discuss his life as a student and composer and how he found his way into audio engineering as a segment of his professional career.

Evan Henry is a composer and music copyist (and now, podcast producer, it seems!) currently living in Eugene, Oregon. His formal musical study began at the Eastman School of Music in 2008 as a jazz trumpet major. After switching focus to composition and piano, he graduated with a BM in composition in 2013, and briefly continued his studies at the University of Pennsylvania in 2016. In 2017, he began exploring Balinese gamelan music extensively, performing, teaching, and composing for Eastman's two ensembles, Gamelan Sanjiwani and Gamelan Lila Muni. In 2021, he won the Random Opera New Works Competition, and his opera The Heavenly Ledger will be premiered online in September 2022. His musical influences draw from his eclectic background and include everything from Stravinsky to Eric Dolphy to David Wise to Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon.
