2005 Davidson Fellow in Music

Prodigious innate music making and command of the flutes are what makes Evren’s portfolio impressive. Remarkable exploration of the possibilities of the Native American cedar flute. Evren commands the respect of musicians much older than him. It is possible that Evren will be able to take these flutes into the future and establish them as important instruments in the 21st century that many more people understand and play.
He shows enormous creativity and prodigious performances. While they are improvised the maturity exhibited is very powerful. Both the regular and the drone flutes are such unique instruments. [If he continues his musical] development I believe he will do more for the cedar flute than anyone else has done before. - Judge’s Comments
