April 29, 2010 - Upcoming Projects

I am happy to announce that I will soon be composing a piece for soprano and saxophone as part of a series of commissions from singer Elisabeth Halliday and saxophonist Zach Herchen. This piece, along with pieces by the other commissioned composers (to include George Lam and Kathleen Bader) and a cycle by Lori Laitman, will tentatively be recorded and performed several times between late 2010 and mid 2011. Check back soon for more details!

September 1, 2009 - Website is up and running

Welcome to adamknauss.com! This site was launched in the spring of 2009, and I have been working on getting it into working condition since then. While portions of it are still under construction, I have recently fixed an error on the Works/Media page, and now many of the recordings are up and running. I hope you'll take some time to listen! More recordings and further updates should follow soon.
