Pianist Adam Andrews to play in ‘House Concert’ series
Award-winning pianist and
composer Adam Andrews will
be appearing in concert for
Kathy Parsons’ House Concert
Series on Sunday, Oct. 15 at 7
p.m.
Andrews is the winner of
this year’s Whisperings Solo
Piano Radio Album of the Year
award for his third album,
“Prayers in the Dark,” which
was also awarded Christian
Album of the Year from
SoloPiano.com, along with
M a i n l y P i a n o . c o m ’s 2 0 1 6
Favorite Albums list.
Hailing from Colorado
Springs, Colorado, Andrews
began learning to play classical
music at the age of seven, and
went on to gain a background
in folk-pop Christian music.
He works to create heartfelt
music about personal experi-
ences that will resonate with
others.
Andrews’ first solo album,
“Road To Ambo,” was released
in 2014 and chronicled his
family’s journey in adopting
their son from Ambo, Ethiopia.
His second album, “A
Thousand Springs,” was
released in 2015 and captured
the experience of a 24-hour
retreat into the wilderness for
reflection and renewal.
Of his album “Prayers in the
Dark,” Andrews said it “shares
my personal journey to find
gratefulness and peace during a
difficult season of life.”
