Adler has performed in caves, forests and adjacent glacial ice fields as well as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and The Stone. With commissions from chamber ensembles and collaborations in opera, dance, and beyond, Adler pursues a vision that intertwines technical precision with human connection and environmental activism.
