Violinist and Composer

Buffalo-born violinist David Adamczyk has been described as having an "approach to his instrument [which] is highly personal with a natural raw sound and virtuosic technique at his disposal". A versatile musician, he is at once a composer, improviser, street musician, event and festival organizer, booking agent and public-art advocate. His endeavors were highlighted in the cover-article of the Oct. 9th edition of the Artvoice not only in relation to his part in organizing the first Allentown Fall Festival, but also to his extensive experience and interest in public-space performing as an alternate model of artistic self promotion. He is currently the Buffalo infringement Festival's Street Coordinator, a category which he devised and organized for the 2014 festival scheduling over 140 acts of all kinds in the process and bringing art into the open in an unprecedented way for the festival. He went on to work with Robby Takac in integrating BIF performers into Music Is Art '14. In winter '13 he embarked on a north-east street-performing tour of downtown Asheville NC, lower Broadway in Nashville, and New Orleans's French Quarter. An active performer, David has recently been seen playing his solo violin compositions in concert with multipercussionist Tatsuya Nakatani and saxophonist Steve Baczkowski at Ashbury Hall and in Kevin Cain's Silo Sessions project in November '14, and for his collaboration with Julian Montague for 'Bird Captures' at BT&C Gallery January 2015. Other musical projects include and improvisatory multi-genre quartet My Nada Brahma with bandleader Ravi Padmanabha, and electric violins and drumkit trio Shubbaluliuma. David holds a BM in Music Composition from the Manhattan School of music, and currently calls the Buffalo's Allentown Arts District (not 'Medical Corridor') home.
