Adam Bergeron

Composer/multi-instrumentalist Adam Bergeron was born with the rare gift of perfect musical memory or "perfect pitch"; he began developing this gift around age 2, when he started arranging and adapting music from the radio (including standard classical repertoire) for solo piano. His first performance was at age 7, when he played his adaptation of Henry Mancini’s "Meghan’s Theme" at a church variety show; formal piano lessons began shortly thereafter, and at age 11 he presented his first solo piano recital. He continued his classical piano studies while learning guitar, bass, drums, trumpet, baritone horn, and tuba.

Adam’s focus has since shifted to composing. His first compositions were featured in a five-piece male a capella group; his works have since been performed in the North Quabbin & Pioneer Valley regions. In September 2000 he released his first CD of original choral & solo piano compositions; he was assisted by Quabbin Valley Pro Musica, a local community chorus for whom he served as interim musical director at that time. He released his second CD "Seeking Illumination" in November 2003, featuring his more recent compositions for solo piano. His third CD "Classical Works, Volume 1" features works by some of his favorite composers, as well as a few of his own compositions; the CD was released in June 2005. His latest release, “Impressions: Classical Improvisations of the 21st Century” shares his passion for the beauty & depth of classical music while experimenting in the world of spontaneous composition; the CD was released in October 2006.

Adam currently performs as a freelance musician in the Pioneer Valley region. In addition to his solo performance career, he performs at retirement communities & assisted living facilities, weddings, parties, and other social functions. Adam is a vocalist with the Lake Mattawa Singers, featuring the sacred & secular works of contemporary composer Carolyn Brown Senier.
