about
Evan J. Roberts
Pianist, composer, church musician, and founder of Roberts Pianos Houston.
I grew up in a home where the piano was part of everyday life: family, church music, classical music in the car, and instruments waiting to be cleaned, tuned, voiced, restored, or played.
My family's piano story reaches back four generations, from England to Houston. David Roberts, my great-grandfather, tuned pianos and organs; before that, he composed at the piano and played organ for silent films. That practical, musical relationship with instruments still shapes how I hear and write.
My own training comes through church music and formal music study, including bachelor's and master's degrees in music. The catalog on this site brings those threads together: worship piano, scored pieces, sketches, improvisations, recordings, and links to streaming releases.
Alongside the music, I founded Roberts Pianos Houston, where the work is hands-on: sales, restoration, tuning, moving, and helping people find instruments worth keeping.
