Arts Empowering Life (Beauty, Truth and Faith in the Arts) presents an ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT LECTURE SERIES – FREE – In Person and Livestreamed to enrich your life through Music and the Arts.
Building Bridges with music is more important than ever and Dr. Samuel Adler is a trail blazer in this arena. He started the Seventh Army Symphony Orchestra in his home town of Mannheim, Germany where he narrowly escaped Nazi Germany during Kristallnacht, the “night of broken glass” at age 10 on that terrifying night. He has composed for all, creating combined choirs of groups that normally don’t work together.
Dr. Samuel Adler is one of the greatest living composers and conductors of our time. A legendary risk-taker with over 400 published works – he taught for sixty-three years at Juilliard, and Eastman, and has given masterclasses and workshops at over 300 universities world-wide. At age ninety-five, he continues to compose and speak, sharing his prolific musical gifts.
His recent album, sung by world-renowned Gloriae Dei Cantores (Singers to the Glory of God) just won The American Prize featuring “To Speak to Our Time” (written to commemorate Kristallnacht), and he has received numerous awards including ASCAP’s “Aaron Copland Lifetime Achievement Award.”
In this interview he presents “95 Years of Music to Speak to Our Time” and shares his amazing life experiences and brilliant musicianship at the Premiere Season of the NEW Arts & Entertainment Lecture Series. Learn more about this series at artsempoweringlife.org.
