Fred Adler is a pianist and composer who studied piano primarily with Mortimer Markoff. After studying composition at McGill University he went on to study and practice medicine but has remained active as a pianist and in recent years even more so as a composer. He has studied composition with Bright Sheng and Samuel Andreyev.
His collaboration with Fundación, Mujer, and Arte con Esperanza (MAES) has been very rich and led to new works played in Morelia in May of 2023 with future concerts now in the planning.
The recent collaboration with Arun Menon has led him back to a long-time interest in writing for strings.
