Having been heard in opera, recital and concert throughout  the United States and Europe, Tenor, Evan Katsefes has  been described as a “gripping” performer with “excellent  diction and intonation,” and “unfailing in communicating  both words and music” (Classical Source). His operatic  engagements in recent seasons include the roles of Tamino  (Die Zauberflöte, W. A. Mozart), Phoebus/Summer (The  Fairy Queen, H. Purcell) and Gherardo (Gianni Schicchi, G.  Puccini), among others.  

As a participant of numerous young artist programs at the  Curtis Institute of Music, the Chautauqua Institution, and  Classical Singing and New York in June, Evan has  collaborated with and been taught by inspiring artists, who  are luminaries in the international industry of classical  music. The Summer of 2024 saw Katsefes as a Vocal Arts  Fellow at The Tanglewood Music Festival, the Summer  residence of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the  Berkshires.  

Katsefes is an undergraduate student at The Manhattan  School of Music where he studies with Mark Schnaible. A  student of Marlena Malas until her passing in December  2023, his mentors include soprano, Dawn Upshaw, Claudia  Catania, Randall Scarlata and pianist, Donna Gill. 

Evan’s time spent outside of his life in music is filled with  adventurous travel, cooking, and supporting the arts in and  around New York City, which he calls home.
