John Adams
John Coolidge Adams is an American composer and conductor who is a regularly performed creator of contemporary classical music. Particularly noted for his operas that often center around historical events, his diverse body of work also encompasses orchestral, concertante, vocal, choral, chamber, electroacoustic, and piano music. After studying at Harvard University, he developed a minimalist aesthetic that is reflected in pieces such as Phrygian Gates and the string septet Shaker Loops. His orchestral compositions, including Harmonium and Harmonielehre, have brought him national attention.
