Evan was named 2018 Professional of the Year by Musical America, was a composing fellow at the John Duffy Composers Institute and a resident artist at Yaddo. He is currently published with Hal Leonard, Alfred, and Amazon.
David C. Howson is a Teaching Professor and Arthur Zankel Executive Director of Arts Administration. Launched in 2011, the academic program combines artistic sensibility with business acumen by examining the foundations of non-profit arts organizations.

Davids research focuses on non-profit arts organizations in the Adirondack region.
