      HAMMOND – The Southeastern Louisiana University Chamber Orchestra’s annual spring concert on Monday, February 17 will feature two members of the Music and Dramatic Arts Department faculty.
      Pianist David Evenson and flutist Carolyn Totaro Treybig will solo with the orchestra, which will be conducted by Yakov Voldman, director of the university’s string program.

      A native of Minneapolis, Minn., Evenson began studying piano at the age of nine. He received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Indiana University under the tutelage of the late Cuban-American virtuoso Jorge Bolet.  He received his doctoral degree from the University of Arizona as a student of the late Ozan Marsh.

She has written several documents and articles, appeared as a guest lecturer and performer, and served as an adjunct instructor of flute.
