John Luther Adams From his home in Alaska, John Luther Adams has created a unique musical world grounded in wilderness landscapes and indigenous cultures, and in natural phenomena from the songs of birds to elemental noise. His music includes works for orchestra, small ensembles, percussion and electronic media, and is recorded on Mode, Cold Blue, Cantaloupe, New World, New Albion and other labels. He is the author of Winter Music (Wesleyan, 2004), and his writings have appeared in numerous periodicals and anthologies. Adams has worked with many prominent performers and venues, including Bang On A Can, Other Minds, So Percussion, Almeida Opera, Steven Schick, the California E.A.R. Unit, FLUX Quartet, the Paul Dresher Ensemble, the Sundance Institute and Arena Stage. He has received awards and fellowships from Meet the Composer, the National Endowment for the Arts, Lila Wallace Arts Partners, the Rockefeller Foundation, Opera America, and the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts. He has been composer in residence with the Anchorage Symphony, Fairbanks Symphony, Arctic Chamber Orchestra, Anchorage Opera, and the Alaska Public Radio Network.
