Evan's Career
Early Days
Evan started playing piano at 4 years old, taught by his father, Diego Elias. At an early age he showed exceptional skills for music, such as perfect pitch and great ability to play piano and conduct melodies. When Evan was 9 years old, his father decided it was time for Evan to start lessons with concert pianist Maria Khachikian, at Muse Mantra School of music and arts (The Woodlands, TX). Evan then advanced and refined his skills to a much higher level.
Achievements
At age 11, Evan was awarded first prize at Charleston International Music Competition (Spring Competition) 2025, and Golden Classical Music Competition and was selected to play at Carnegie Hall, New York. In 2026, Evan was awarded first prize at Grand Prize Virtuoso Music Competition and was selected to play at Sölitar, Mozarteum in Salzburg in July 2026.
The Future
Evan is working on expanding his repertoire and learning more advanced pieces, including a piano concerto to play with a full orchestra. Evan is also learning new styles such as Jazz, Bossa Nova, Funk, Blues, etc. with the help of his modern piano teacher Jia Choi. Evan's dream is to become a professional pianist, he has the support of his family, his teachers, his music school, but all piano competition expenses add up and paving his future as a professional pianist wouldn't be possible without your help.
From our heart, we thank you so much for your support!
