Organist Joseph Adam, who has previously performed at Disney Hall, will perform at Pittsburg State University at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 14 as part of the Solo & Chamber Music Series under the direction of the Department of Music.

Joseph Adam holds the position of director of music at Saint James Cathedral in Seattle. As resident organist at Benaroya Hall, he performs regularly with the Seattle Symphony. In recent seasons, he performed concertos by Handel and Hanson.

Adam is a prize winner in numerous competitions, including the prestigious St. Albans International Organ Competition. A past dean of the Seattle chapter of the American Guild of Organists, he served as chair of the performances committee for the 2000 and 2022 national conventions in Seattle.

He was one of three organists invited to perform on the Rosales/Glatter-Götz organ at Disney Hall in Los Angeles as part of the 2004 National Convention of the American Guild of Organists, a performance that has been featured on the nationally syndicated radio program Pipe Dreams.

His concert at PSU will be held in the Sharon Kay Dean Recital Hall in McCray Hall.
