RiverArts’ new Channels series presents adventurous music in the spirit of connectivity and discovery.
About the Artist
Based in Philadelphia, Evan Chapman is a percussionist, composer, and filmmaker who has built a prolific and unique career by seamlessly blending multimedia and contemporary music. Chapman is a founding member of contemporary-classical percussion trio/rock band Square Peg Round Hole, whose original compositions have been dubbed a “creative adventure” by Bob Boilen (NPR) and have received further acclaim from Modern Drummer Magazine, Paste Magazine, and Mental Floss, among others.
Chapman is also a founder and owner of film production company Four/Ten Media alongside longtime collaborator Kevin Eikenberg. The duo’s background as classically-trained percussionists has allowed them to create fresh and musically authentic representations of pieces in the contemporary classical and pop worlds. Four/Ten’s client list includes internationally-acclaimed artists and institutions such as the New York Philharmonic, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Caroline Shaw, Carnegie Hall, the Bang on a Can All-Stars, Sō Percussion, David Lang, Son Lux, Alarm Will Sound, and many more. Their work has been featured by major press outlets including the New York Times, Alternative Press, NPR, Paste Magazine, Q2 Music, and I Care If You Listen.
Evan will be presenting brand new material that further explores the intersection of percussion and technology, incorporating elements from contemporary classical, electronic, and post-rock styles.
Evan is sponsored by Zildjian Cymbals, Vic Firth Drumsticks, and Evans Drumheads.
