About Adonis Rose:
Adonis Rose is a Grammy-award-winning artist, composer, educator, and producer from the city of New Orleans, LA. He has played and recorded with the biggest names in Jazz, including Terence Blanchard, Betty Carter, Dianne Reeves, Marcus Roberts, Harry Connick, Jr., Nnenna Freelon, Kurt Elling, and Wynton Marsalis, and has performed on the most renowned stages in the world.
Rose composed the music for Sacred Spaces?, a dance and jazz collaboration, that will be performed by Cleo Parker Robinson Dance and the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra on January 29 at the Heymann Center in Lafayette. This project was Rose’s first experience composing music for a full-scale, narrative dance. Both the composer and the choreographer, Cleo Parker Robinson, worked step-by-step to create this extraordinary work.
Rose was appointed to the position of artistic director of the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra in 2017. He has been instrumental in the organization's success by developing educational and community programs, leading performances, and developing partnerships associated with The Jazz Market, a 350-seat performance venue in New Orleans’ Central City neighborhood which is home to the orchestra. He serves as the New Orleans Music and Culture Curator for JazzAscona in Switzerland and was recently named the executive director of the NOCCA Foundation.
