Adam Kraynak
Bassoon
Adam Kraynak is excited to return to the AIMS Festival Orchestra for a second summer! A recent graduate of Temple University, he has performed as Principal Bassoon with the Temple University Symphony Orchestra and Wind Symphony and has recorded two albums with them. As part of the BCM&D records, you can hear him on the Divertimenti by Vicente Martín y Soler and Rainforests by Bill Cunliffe. He has also performed with Symphony in C, Philadelphia Sinfonia, Philadelphia Young Artist Orchestra, and Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra. This has taken his playing to venues such as Kimmel Center’s Marian Anderson Hall, Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater, and Benaroya Hall.
Adam is a three-time lab orchestra fellow at The Conducting Institute (Texas), led by renowned conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya. He also previously attended the Varna International Music Festival (South Carolina) and the AIMS Festival Orchestra (Austria). Starting this fall, he will be pursuing graduate studies at Manhattan School of Music, studying under William Short. His main teachers include Angela Anderson Smith and Francine Peterson. Outside of music, Adam loves reading, cooking, fine dining, and spending time with his loved ones.
