Island native BSO alum Adam Pelandini returns to Bainbridge for a specular showcase of virtuosic classical prowess with pianist Aaron Hirsch
Adam Pelandini
Bainbridge Island native Adam Pelandini discovered his love for music at a young age as he watched his father and older sister practice the piano. After teaching himself some of the tunes he was hearing, it was apparent he should begin his own set of piano lessons. Later he watched his older brother play drum set with his local high school jazz band and was drawn in especially by the saxophone section. With the love and support of his musical family he began a love affair with the instrument and its capabilities.
After graduating from Bainbridge High School in 2001, Adam pursued further studies at Central Washington University (CWU) where he studied closely with saxophone and clarinet professor Joseph Brooks. Always focusing on nuance of sound and musicality, he and Brooks connected well and accomplished much. After several performances with CWU’s top ensembles, numerous solo and chamber recitals and a bachelor’s degree, he moved on to the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, MA and joined Professor Kenneth Radnofsky’s saxophone studio. Over five years, he completed his Master of Music degree in saxophone performance from NEC with Academic Honors, earned his Doctor of Musical Arts from Boston University College of Fine Arts and was invited to perform with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra in June 2011.
