He was then awarded the prestigious Holland Scholarship and continued his post-graduate studies with Michel Strauss and Jan-Ype Nota at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag, specializing in contemporary music and improvisation. Adam currently lives in Marquette, Michigan, where he plays regularly with the Marquette and Keweenaw Symphony Orchestras, and the Superior String Alliance (SSA) Chamber Players.
