Harry Evans (1 May 1873 – 23 July 1914), was a Welsh musician, conductor and composer. He was born in Dowlais near Merthyr Tydfil, the son of a local choirmaster, John Evans (Eos Myrddin), and learned music at home, showing such precocious talent that he was appointed organist of Gwernllwyn Congregational Church at the age of nine. The church sponsored his music studies, but family circumstances prevented him proceeding to college, and he had to take a position as a pupil-teacher. In 1893, having suffered serious ill-health, he abandoned teaching for music.
