Adam Sadberry Flute | African-American Orchestra Fellow A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, Adam Sadberry has recorded with the Eastman Wind Ensemble and went on tour with the Eastman Philharmonia. He was also the recipient of the 2017 Eastman / Links Scholarship. “I'm really looking forward to growing as a person and a musician with the other DSO musicians by my side. The short time I've been here has already made an enormous impact on my playing, so I can't wait to see what else happens. When I found out that I had won a fellowship, I was flabbergasted. I'm still in a little bit of shock even now, but I'm getting comfortable in my position and couldn't be happier to be here.” – Adam Sadberry Michael Gause Trumpet | African-American Orchestra Fellow Michael […]
