A 2012 American Pianists Association Classical Fellowship Award Nominee and “modern-music evangelist” (TimeOut New York), Adam Tendler first made national headlines with America 88x50, a completely independent, completely unsponsored recital tour created and conducted out of his Hyundai and offered for free to underserved communities in all fifty states. Celebrated for his uncompromising recital programming, innovative teaching style, unapologetic literary voice, and bold original compositions, he has gone on to perform internationally, direct classical music initiatives across the country, and serve as an announcer and contemporary music liaison for NPR and Pacifica radio stations nationwide. Currently based in New York, he is the founding director of a daily music series at Soho House New York, and is in the process of publishing an interactive memoir about coming-out and coming-of-age during the America 88x50 tour, the development of which you can follow at dissonantstates.com
THE DISSONANT STATES?

America 88x50 was a completely independent, completely unsponsored recital tour that Tendler created and conducted out of his Hyundai and offered for free to underserved communities in all fifty states.
