Although recognized as a concert classical guitarist first and foremost, Evan is at the forefront of utilizing the web to connect with a large audience - namely on social media - where on Instagram alone, he reaches 40k+ people that follow his classical guitar journey.
Evan seeks to connect the classical guitar community both within itself, as well as with the outside world with projects such as Ex-Aequo, which he co-founded in 2020 as well as ReadGuitar - an initiative to connect young composers with musicians across the globe.

During his two years of study with Cuban virtuoso Rene Izquierdo, Evan won 8 separate prizes in professional competitions throughout the United States including 3 Grand Prizes. Taucher was also the first guitarist to enter the University of Texas at Austin’s Artist Diploma program.
Evan holds a Bachelor of Music from Florida State University where he studied with Bruce Holzman, as well as a two Masters’ degrees – one from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee with Rene Izquierdo, and the other from the University of Alicante in Spain where he was awarded the Magellan Scholarship to study with the biggest names in classical guitar.
