Adam Flatt

Adam Flatt is a conductor appearing with the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra for its "Classical Connections" series. The listed concerts feature Gabriela Lena Frank's Elegía andina, Mozart's Sinfonia concertante for violin and viola, and Haydn's Symphony No. 103, known as the "Drumroll" symphony. Beyond this appearance, no verified biographical details are available.

This program moves from the present day back through the classical era. Gabriela Lena Frank's Elegía andina draws on Andean folk melodies and instrumental colors, filtered through an orchestral lens, and offers a brooding, lyrical opener. Mozart's Sinfonia concertante in E flat major puts a violinist and a violist in conversation as equal partners, trading and blending their melodic lines over a warm orchestral backdrop, a work prized for the intimacy between the two soloists. Haydn's Symphony No. 103 gets its nickname, the "Drumroll," from the extended timpani roll that opens the piece before the orchestra answers; listen for how that opening gesture returns and for the folk-dance energy of the final movement. A "Classical Connections" concert typically includes spoken commentary from the podium, so listeners can expect some guidance through these pieces alongside the performances.
