Orrin Evans live in City of Saratoga Springs

Experience Orrin Evans live on June 27th

Orrin Evans, a contemporary jazz pianist and composer, will perform at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) in Saratoga Springs, New York on June 27, 2026. Evans’s musical style is rooted in the post-bop tradition, often incorporating elements of blues, gospel, and a distinctly modern harmonic sensibility. He is known for his improvisational skills and dynamic interplay with fellow musicians, having led numerous ensembles and released albums under his own name and as a co-leader. His work frequently explores themes of personal experience and social commentary through instrumental storytelling.

Saratoga Performing Arts Center opened in 1966 as a venue designed to bring world-class performing arts to the region. Originally conceived to host the New York City Ballet and the Philadelphia Orchestra during their summer residencies – relationships which continue today – SPAC has expanded to include a diverse range of performances. The venue is situated within Saratoga Spa State Park, a National Historic Landmark known for its mineral springs and Beaux-Arts architecture. Its amphitheater design allows for both covered and lawn seating, accommodating large audiences. SPAC has hosted many prominent artists across genres throughout its history, becoming a significant cultural hub in upstate New York.
