 lka** (born 1987) first performed all of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas when he
  was 18 years-old\, and he considers the 32 masterpieces to have been his 
 saving grace during the Covid crisis. "The reason I can't stay away from B
 eethoven is that he put himself through absolute hell in an attempt to mar
 ry the rawest expressions of his subconscious to the unattainable ideals o
 f his mind. No other composer before or since has been willing to explore 
 this internal warfare as deeply as he did\, and I constantly feel that I'l
 l somehow redeem myself by surrendering to the fight which is at the core 
 of performing his works."\n\nIn 2020-2021\, Adam Golka performed the eleve
 n-hour cycle of Beethoven's Sonatas five times in its entirety\, three tim
 es for socially distanced audiences at the **Bach Festival Society of Wint
 er Park** (Florida)\, once at the **Archway Gallery** in Houston\, and als
 o a live-streamed cycle at the Saint **Thomas Church Fifth Avenue** (NYC)\
 , with a growing live audience as the year-long series proceeded. Adam's p
 erformances were complemented by 32 short films he created\, known as *32@
 32* (available on YouTube)\, documenting his preparation for climbing the 
 Everest of the piano literature\, and featuring an amalgam of distinguishe
 d guests\, from astrophysicists to Alfred Brendel. First Hand Records in L
 ondon has released his "Beethoven Piano Sonatas Vol. 1" in 2020\, recorded
  at the **Tippet Rise Art Center** in Montana. "Adam Golka plays [Sonatas 
 op. 10] with a certain brio\, fiery\, very free. After all\, Beethoven dar
 es in them fantasies\, embellishments\, cadenzas that the pianist seizes w
 ith a sense of improvisation\, variations of mood\, which never make you f
 orget the simple beauty of his touch\, the obviousness of his speech." *Ar
 tamag* (France)\n\nAs public events in the United States re-opened\, Adam 
 was engaged by the **Buffalo Philharmonic** and **Asheville Symphonies** t
 o film concertos by Bach\, Mozart\, Clara Schumann\, Saint-Saëns\, Brahms
 \, Rachmaninoff\, and Shostakovich for online release. He has also recorde
 d a recital for the **Chelsea Music Festival** at **High Line Nine**\, and
  he performed for live audiences at **Chamber Music Sedona**\, as well as 
 a series of recitals with cellist Jonathan Swensen\, including the **Morga
 n Library** in NYC.\n\nIn 2021-2022\, Adam plays Beethoven's *Emperor* wit
 h the **California Symphony** and he tours with a recital featuring Beetho
 ven's *Les Adieux*\, Liszt's *Sonata*\, Grażyna Bacewicz's *Piano Sonata 
 No. 2*\, as well as etudes by Nicolai Kapustin and his own *Relevant Etude
 * (2021)\, including stops at the **PianoTexas International Festival**\, 
 **Minnesota Beethoven Festival**\, and **Brattleboro Music Center**. He al
 so joins violinist Itamar Zorman for recitals at **Wigmore Hall** in Londo
 n and the **Israel Conservatory** in Tel-Aviv\, pianist Yannick Rafalimana
 na for a two-piano recital at **Kammermusik-Verein Halberstadt** (Germany)
 \, and he will also enjoy a two-week residency at the **Krzyżowa-Music Fe
 stival** (Poland).\n\nAdam Golka is deeply indebted to his two main teache
 rs\, José Feghali\, with whom he studied at Texas Christian University\, 
 and Leon Fleisher\, with whom he worked as part of the Artist Diploma prog
 ram at the Peabody Conservatory. Since finishing his formal studies\, Adam
  has continued to develop his artistry through private mentorship from his
  favorite artists: Alfred Brendel\, Richard Goode\, Murray Perahia\, Feren
 c Rados\, and András Schiff\, who invited Adam to give recitals at the **
 Klavier-Festival Ruhr** and **Tonhalle Zürich** for the *Sir András Schi
 ff Selects* concert series.\n\nAs a concerto soloist\, he has appeared wit
 h dozens of orchestras\, including the **BBC Scottish Symphony**\, **NACO*
 * (Ottawa)\, **Warsaw Philharmonic**\, **Shanghai Philharmonic**\, as well
  as the **San Francisco\, Atlanta\, Houston\, Dallas\, Milwaukee\, Indiana
 polis\, New Jersey\, and San Diego symphonies**. Adam has enjoyed collabor
 ations with conductors such as Donald Runnicles\, Pinchas Zukerman\, Mark 
 Wigglesworth\, Joseph Swensen\, and he has made countless concerto appeara
 nces with his brother\, conductor Tomasz Golka. Adam gave his **Carnegie S
 tern Auditorium** début in 2010 with the **New York Youth Symphony** and 
 his New York recital début at **Alice Tully Hall**\, presented by the Mus
 icians Emergency Fund.\n\nAdam's professional life began when he was award
 ed the first prize and audience prize at the 2nd China Shanghai Internatio
 nal Piano Competition. In 2009\, he won the Max I. Allen Fellowship from A
 merican Pianists Association. As a pedagogue\, he acted as Artist-in-Resid
 ence for six school years at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester\, 
 Massachusetts. Adam has recorded works by Beethoven\, Schumann\, and Brahm
 s for First Hand Records and he has premiered works composed for him by Ri
 chard Danielpour\, Michael Brown\, and Jarosław Gołębiowski.
