Peter Evans is an American trumpet player based in New York, who specializes in improvisation and avant-garde music. Evans has been a member of the New York City musical community since 2003, when he moved to the city after graduating from The Oberlin Conservatory of Music (his earlier studies were in the Jazz Department of New England Conservatory of Music's School of Preparatory Education).

In addition, Evans has been performing and recording solo trumpet music since 2003 and is widely recognized as a leading voice in the field, having released several recordings over the past decade. He is a member of several fully cooperative groups, such as Pulverize the Sound, Rocket Science, Premature Burial. Evans has collaborated with a broad range of figures in modern music: Weasel Walter, Evan Parker, Matana Roberts, Tyshawn Sorey, John Zorn, Mary Halvorson, Peter Brotzmann, Aaron Burnett, Okkyung Lee, Nate Wooley, and has premiered compositions by Brian Ferneyhough, George Lewis, Eric Wubbels, Anthony Braxton and Barry Guy. He is also a member of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) and Wet Ink. He has been commissioned by the ICE, Yarn/Wire, the Donaueschingen Musiktage Festival, the Jerome Foundation's Emerging Artist Program and was a 2014 Artist-in-Residence at Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, NY.
