General | | Biography: | Dr. William Adams is enjoying a diverse and extensive career in music as an educator, conductor, performer, composer and scholar.
Dr. Adams presents workshops, master classes and lectures on vocal health and pedagogy, solo performance practice, conducting, the spirituality of music and music education advocacy throughout the country.
A specialist in a cappella music, his choral conducting experience includes male, female and mixed ensembles ranging from three- and four-voice chamber ensembles to 340-voice festival choirs and he maintains an active schedule as a clinician throughout the United States.
As an operatic baritone with a repertoire of more than sixty opera, theater and oratorio roles extending from Baroque masterworks to world premieres, he has performed throughout the United States with leading choral societies and orchestras. His wide range, both as a singer and as an actor, makes him equally comfortable in a Mozart opera, a Sondheim musical, a jazz club or a coffee house. As a recitalist with more than twenty programs to his credit, his repertoire extends from French and German art song through the folk music of Japan. He is particularly well-versed in the performance of British and American concert and folk music.
He lives in Durham, North Carolina with his wife and two children.
