David Adams

David Adams is a versatile classical violinist and conductor best known for bringing underappreciated British and Irish composers into the spotlight. As a founding member of the Hibernian Ensemble and longtime leader of the RTÉ Concert Orchestra in Dublin, he’s spent decades championing works by folks like Herbert Howells, Charles Villiers Stanford, and York Bowen—artists whose chamber and choral gems you’ll hear in recent releases like *Howells: Chamber Music* and *Stanford: Piano Trio No. 2*. Whether he’s directing lush string arrangements for *Airs & Dances from Dublin Castle* or digging into the rich textures of Bowen’s clarinet-centric works, Adams blends scholarly passion with approachable energy. His recordings often feel like curated tours through cozy, forgotten corners of classical music, delivered with the warmth of someone who genuinely wants you to love these pieces as much as he does.
