“He was completely wonderful – one of the finest performances of Beethoven Op. 111 I have ever heard (and I’ve lived with the piece myself for 35 years).” – Steve Wogaman, Chamber Music Detroit (Oct. 2022)

“I am delighted to report that Evren played just beautifully yesterday, and an obviously appreciative crowd was there to absorb his refined artistry in near total silence. Evren’s Chopin playing comes straight from the heart, giving it an emotional depth that immediately captures the listener’s ear. His touch, and the sound it produces, are sublime.” – Mary Sigmond, Chopin Society (Sept. 2021)
