1999 HOW EVREN MET HIS MENTOR
Just after moving from Massachusetts to California, Evren and his mother were sitting in a Laguna Beach park watching their dog while Evren played the flute. Evren was overheard by the only other person in the park, fellow dog walker and (then) stranger, Pauline Baker who, after introductions were exchanged, insisted on introducing Evren to native instrument maker and musician, Guillermo Martinez. A week later Pauline arranged the meeting at a school a few towns away where Pauline's daughter was a student, and Guillermo a teacher. Guillermo asked Evren to play the flute for the other children and, after a few minutes, excused Evren and himself from the class, walked outside with his arm around Evren's shoulder and said, "Okay, you're coming with me. Now you and I are going to be working together." For the past four years, Guillermo has carefully mentored Evren in all aspects of native flute musicianship.
