Adam Syed

Position: Director

Adam was born in Cleveland, Ohio, but at age one moved to Midland, Texas. He spent the majority of his childhood playing videogames and soccer. He began piano lessons at the age of five but quit by age nine (a decision he now regrets). Fortunately, for his music talents, he returned to music, beginning to play guitar at age twelve and has been strumming to his own rhythms ever since. Adam began his undergraduate studies at Trinity University in physics and computer science, but switched to music composition, where he has been studying with Brian Bondari. Adam will graduate in December 2017 with a Bachelor of Music Degree, with a concentration in Composition. His hobbies include attempting to learn the saxophone and Chinese violin, participating in a traditional Indian folk dance known as bhangra, and convincing his friends that playing handbells is a noble pursuit.
