With his "brilliant technique and real emotional depth" (The Washington Post), pianist Adam Golka has won widespread critical and popular acclaim in his relatively short time on the national scene. He has garnered international prizes including the 2008 Gilmore Young Artist Award, first prize in the 2nd China Shanghai International Piano Competition in 2003 and the 2009 Max I. Allen Classical Fellowship Award of the American Pianists Association. In the summer of 2012, Golka joins violinist Colin Jacobsen at New York's Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts to perform Beethoven's Sonata for Piano and Violin No. 10 in G major, Op. 96. He appears at the Dakota Sky International Piano Festival, and at the International Music Foundation in Chicago. He plays Brahms Three Intermezzi, Op. 117 and Witold Lutosawski's Folk Melodies for a Mostly Mozart recital at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
