Adam Silverman (b. 1973, Atlanta, GA) is a composer of music for concert performance whose musical output reflects deep-dives into varied fascinations, with bodies of work created for percussion ensembles and wind bands, chamber music for traditional and uncommon ensembles, opera and choir, and music that distills folk techniques.
Silverman’s music is widely available in streaming services online, including four full-length records of chamber and percussion ensemble compositions, EP singles “Spark Joy,” “TITLE” and “Elegy for the Earth,” and individual compositions on recordings by the Temple University Wind Symphony, Prism Saxophone Quartet, cellist Amy Sue Barston, Trio Kavak, The Florida State University Percussion Ensemble, and others. He also composed the score for “Little Fiel,” which blends stop-motion animation with filmed documentary; in 2018, this film had 50 screenings in 15 countries, winning many awards including Best Original Music at the Oregon Documentary Film Festival.
Educated at Yale, The Vienna Musikhochschule, The University of Miami, and in private study with microtonal composer Ben Johnston, Silverman is a professor of music composition and theory at West Chester University, co-artistic director (with his spouse, cellist Amy Barston) of the Park Avenue Concerts series in Swarthmore, PA, and an Old-Time music enthusiast, performing as an amateur on fiddle, banjo, mandolin and guitar and hosting the monthly Swarthmore Old Time String Jam.
