The music of composer and pianist Judah Adashi is guided by a belief that the creation and performance of new music can bear witness to injustice, create space for empathy, and serve as a call to action. His compositions are grounded in the classical tradition and imbued with soul and pop influences ranging from Nina Simone to Björk. Dr. Adashi is the founder and artistic director of the Evolution Contemporary Music Series, which has made Baltimore a destination for extraordinary new music and musicians since 2005. He is also the founder and artistic director of Rise Bmore, an annual concert marking the anniversary of Freddie Gray’s 2015 death while in Baltimore police custody. Dr. Adashi has been on the faculty of the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University since 2002. He lives in his hometown of Baltimore, MD with his wife and frequent collaborator, cellist Lavena Johanson. For more information, please visit judahadashi.com.
