What ties music making, teaching, speaking and training together?
For Adam, the key is that each of these diverse skills is enhance by a unifying element; the creation of a story. Whether it be a concert, a tour, a class, or a keynote address, Adam uses story to create engagement and retention with his audiences.
MUSICIAN
Whilst Adam trained as a classical conductor, his musical focus is now in the music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
One of Adam’s chief accomplishments is his ability to bring people together, resulting in the formation of numerous groups and projects, including The Lewandowski Chorale, The Fusion Arts Ensemble, and, most recently, The African Renaissance Ensemble.
EDUCATOR
Adam is a seasoned teacher at Redhill School, where he has taught a broad range of subjects, including Music, Design, History, Life Orientation, and facilitated a course in Project-Based Learning.
He currently teaches Theory of Knowledge, a core subject for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, and has launched Philosophy as a matric subject at Redhill through the IB.
SPEAKER
Adam’s passion for Architecture, History, and Philosophy, combined with his approachable style and use of story and humor, make him an engaging and successful speaker.
In this capacity, Adam runs workshops focusing on Philosophical Argument style, Ethical Reasoning, and understanding and preparing for a future in the face of AI. These workshops and presentations are suitable for both adults and High School students and Adam is a regular keynote speaker.
Adam is also known for his walking tours of Jo’burg, Pretoria, Cape Town, and a number of European cities. He is currently a volunteer tour leader with The Johannesburg Heritage Foundation.
