Part III of a 4 Part Lecture
At age ten Samuel Adler narrowly escaped Nazi Germany during Kristallnacht, the “night of broken glass.” As he and his father collected sheet music in the loft of the synagogue, saving all that they could on that terrifying night, soldiers heard them from down below. It was the sudden collapse of the pipe organ that allowed Adler and his father to run and escape through an underground tunnel. His family took the last train out of Germany with their bags full of sheet music, paving the way for Adler to study and nurture his musical gifts in America. At age ninety-five, he continues to compose, sharing his prolific musical gifts. Known for building bridges through the international language of music, as well as his optimism and “life-affirming spirit,” he is uniquely positioned TO SPEAK TO OUR TIME.
The risk-taking composer of 400 published works taught for sixty-three years at Juilliard, and Eastman, and has given masterclasses and workshops at over 300 universities world-wide. Having studied with Aaron Copland, Paul Hindemith, Randall Thompson, and more, he knows just about everyone on the twentieth-century American music scene and has received numerous awards including ASCAP’s “Aaron Copland Lifetime Achievement Award.” He believes that one should compose in the “energy of his time” and he is without doubt one of the greatest living composers and conductors.
Gloriae Dei Cantores, the world-renowned choir from Orleans, MA and foundational group of Arts Empowering Life, are the winners of THE AMERICAN PRIZE for their recent recorded album of Dr. Samuel Adler’s music entitled, To Speak to Our Time, conducted by Richard K. Pugsley. The album won extensive critical acclaim for its bold programming, the championing of Dr. Adler’s music, and the stunning and brilliant musicianship and nuanced singing.
“Music of mesmerizing beauty…powerful.” —Apple Music
“The singing is powerful, passionately sculpted…beautiful.” —Gramophone
