Evan Ziporyn
Cross-Cultural Composition and Clarinet Music
Evan Ziporyn is a clarinetist, composer and faculty director of MIT’s Center for Art, Science & Technology, an organization that takes an expansive view of musical culture in the 21st century. Ziporyn exemplifies that bridge-building in his own projects, which break down the divide between West and East, classical and vernacular, academic and grassroots. Yo-Yo Ma recently debuted Ziporyn’s piece “Tom and Huck” for cello and tabla.
