Flutist Adam Sadberry will perform at Northern Michigan University on Friday, February 18th at 7:30pm EST. As a performer in the Siril Endowment for the Musical Arts Series, he becomes one of many musical artists to help expose students to a wide variety of music genres.
Adam is principal flutist in the Memphis Symphony, having received his bachelor's degree from the Eastman School of Music. He also spent time as African-American Orchestra Fellow with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
He tells a musical story as "musical journalism," to expand awareness on equity, representation, music education and of the black diaspora. He also presents Using Your Identity to Create a Relevant Voice in Music, a presentation which helps musicians "use their experiences and perspectives as a catalyst for change through music."
We spoke with Adam to get an insight on his performance history, his musical journalism, and what to expect from the recital at NMU:
