“Is Adam Schoenberg the American Sibelius? Maybe. I haven’t heard such ravishingly beautiful, unabashed orchestral lyricism since the Finnish master put notes to paper.”
– Grego Applegate Edwards, Classical-Modern Music Review

Grammy® Award-nominated Adam Schoenberg has twice been named among the top 10 most performed living composers by orchestras in the United States. His works have received performances and premieres at the Kennedy Center, Library of Congress, New York Philharmonic, The Cleveland Orchestra, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and Hollywood Bowl. He has received commissions from several major orchestras, including the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (Up! and La Luna Azul), the Kansas City Symphony (American Symphony and Picture Studies), and the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Aspen Music Festival and School (Bounce). He recently finished a violin concerto for Anne Akiko Meyers (2014 Classical Billboard Artist of the Year) and the San Diego Symphony that premiered in February 2018. His latest album with the Kansas City Symphony was nominated for two Grammys, including Picture Studies as Best Contemporary Classical Composition. Schoenberg’s music can also be heard on TV, as he recently co-composed the new theme package for ABC’s Nightline, as well as the documentary That Far Corner: Frank Lloyd Wright in Los Angeles for KCET.
