He has given special concerts in the U.S. Ambassador's residences in Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey. The New York Times reviewed him as follows: "Phillip Evans can be ranked among our major pianists .... Deepest musical insights, in a word, masterful". He has served on the faculties of the Juilliard and Manhattan School of Music, and his students have been major prize-winners in many international piano competitions, including the Tschaikovsky in Moscow, the Gina Bachauer, Leeds, the Bartok-Prokofieff-Kabalevsky, and the Queen Elizabeth in Belgium. They have performed with leading orchestras throughout the world, including the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Minneapolis and St. Louis Symphonies. Evans' special affinity for the music of Bela Bartok was acknowledged by the Pulitzer prize-winning critic, Harold Schonberg in his book The Great Pianists: "Phillip Evans in Bartok, Roslyn Tureck in Bach ... ". His series of Bartok CDs received extraordinary reviews, such as the following from George Jellinek of the New York Times: "Evans played both Sonatas with searching insight, in total triumph over their technical difficulties ... he plays superbly .... ". He earned degrees from the Juilliard School (in piano and composition) and the Cherubini Conservatory in Italy, studying with Beveridge Webster, Luigi Dallapiccola, Stepan Wolpe and performed at Master Classes with Artur Schnabel. Evans received the Gold Medal at the Vercelli International Piano Competition, was second in the Naumburg Competition, and was recipient of the Loeb award as the "outstanding pianist" of his graduating class at Juilliard. He was also awarded two Fulbright grants, two Rockefeller Foundation grants, and was appointed Artistic Ambassador of the United States. Mr. Evans and his wife Roberta Rust, Piano Professor at the Conservatory of Music at Lynn University, live in Palm Beach County. He has been a music critic for several major newspapers in South Florida and is a member of the faculty at Lynn University. His hobbies include reading, chess (he is pound of the fact that he lasted 12 moves with Bobby Fisher!) and swimming.
