Reply to comment by KingAdamXVII in Hi Reddit! I'm a Grammy winning classical composer, composer-in-residence for the Philadelphia Orchestra and I also founded a music academy. In two weeks, the San Diego Opera will premiere my first ever opera, El Ultimo Sueño de Frida y Diego. AMA by sandiegoopera

Hiya Adam XVII:

Oh, I HAVE to plug the up-and-comers (and a few are now firmly established) that attend/attended my Academy... Check out these beautiful souls here:

Honestly, I have become a better artist for opening up my life to the next generation of talents. I started my Academy a few years ago from a place of genuine alarm to see how culturally and politically divisive the US had become. A few years later, even with everything going on in the world, these emerging voices have filled me with resolve and optimism.

Thank you for the kind words, Adam. :)
