Twenty-four-year-old Adam Golka is the winner of two of America’s most prestigious musical awards: the 2008 Gilmore Young Artist Award and the 2009 Max I. Allen Classical Fellowship Award of the American Pianists Association. He has maintained a highly-active performing schedule in his consistently growing career, ever since he won the first prize in the 2nd China Shanghai International Piano Competition in 2003. In March 2010, Mr. Golka made his Isaac Stern Auditorium debut at Carnegie Hall, playing Rachmaninoff’s Third Concerto with the New York Youth Symphony. His solo appearances have taken him to famous venues such as the Concertgebouw (Kleine Zaal) in Amsterdam, Carnegie Hall (Weill Recital Hall) in New York, and Musashino Hall in Tokyo, among others. Mr. Golka has amassed a broad performing repertoire in his young career; he has performed more than twenty piano concertos and enough solo works to fill at least twenty recital programs, among others the thirty-two sonatas of Beethoven.

The Hammond Performing Arts Series began in Chestnut Hill nineteen years ago as a way to provide talented musicians with performance opportunities and to enrich the cultural life of the communities that Hammond’s network of offices serve. The series proved so successful in Chestnut Hill that it has been expanded to Boston, Concord, Hingham, Lexington, and Weston.
