Meet the Ensemble

Dr. Evan Feldman, Music/Artistic Director

Evan Feldman is proud to be in his thirteenth season with the Triangle Wind Ensemble. As Professor of Music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Evan conducts the UNC Wind Ensemble and teaches courses in conducting and music education. He also serves as Principal Guest Conductor of the Greensboro Symphony and conducts the Greensboro Symphony Youth Orchestra. He has been described as “...the real thing — a conductor with evident ensemble-building skills who knows his way around the podium...”

Evan is an active guest conductor, clinician, and adjudicator both nationally and internationally, with recent engagements in Romania, Belgium, Spain,

Switzerland, and Tanzania, as well as all-state, all-district, and all-county honor bands in the United States.

Committed to revealing the inner life of music to audiences, Evan uses innovative demonstration excerpts that ‘decompose’ and ‘recompose’ music with the live ensemble. He is also the author of the first online course dedicated to teaching conducting and rehearsal technique. Over 20,000 people have enrolled in the free course through Coursera.org. Evan is passionate about the future of music education. His textbook, Instrumental Music Education, has been adopted by university music education programs throughout the country as one of the training manuals for tomorrow’s music teachers.

An active arranger and researcher, his editions of music by Ralph Vaughan Williams, George Enescu, Antonin Dvořák, Léo Delibes, Ariel Ramirez, and Sergei Prokofiev are published by Tierolff Muziekcentrale, and his research on wind music has been presented at national and international conferences.

Originally from Long Island, New York, Evan previously taught at Central College (Iowa) the College of William and Mary (Virginia) and Hicksville High School (New York).
