The music of composer ADAM SCHOENBERG has an ability to create "mystery and sensuality" (New York Times), and has been hailed as "stunning" (Memphis Commercial Appeal), and "open, bold, and optimistic" (Atlanta Journal-Constitution). As the newest member of the Atlanta School of Composers, Schoenberg has been commissioned to write three works for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra with premieres scheduled through 2014. Upcoming commissions have also come from the Aspen Music Festival & School, Atlanta Chamber Players, and Blakemore Trio.
Recently completed commissions include pieces for the Kansas City Symphony, , IRIS Chamber Orchestra, and American Brass Quintet. Schoenberg is the 2010-2012 guest composer for the Aspen Music Festival and School’s M.O.R.E program, and a 2009 and 2010 MacDowell Fellow. He was the First Prize winner at the 2008 International Brass Chamber Music Festival for best Brass Quintet. In 2007, he was awarded ASCAP’s Morton Gould Young Composer Award, Juilliard’s Palmer-Dixon Prize for Most Outstanding Composition, and a Meet the Composer Grant. He received the 2006 Charles Ives Scholarship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
