"To use the term 'flutist' to describe Adam W. Sadberry gives only a hint of the unparalleled creativity, incisive intelligence, and inspiring vision that I've come to be in awe of as Adam's former manager at Concert Artists Guild. Adam embodies everything I hope to see in 21st century musicians -- a stunningly high level of artistry paired with an acute awareness and sensitivity to the world around us. I cannot wait to see what further accomplishments lie ahead for this already great artist and am so grateful to have had an opportunity to be a part of the journey!"

“Beholding Adam W. Sadberry’s emergence from awesome flutist, to brilliant musician, and now artistic citizen of the world is a wonder! For many years I have admired his flute playing, but seeing his work with teaching and inspiring my students has been such a joy. Adam is a super star and we in the flute community are honored to claim his as our own as he shines out to the world.”
— Christina Jennings, University of Colorado Boulder Professor of Flute
“Adam’s talk was an unforgettable event that held everyone in rapt attention. Here was an excellent, highly trained musician in the early stages of his career suggesting that each of us move beyond the stage and its potential accolades, access personal honesty, and hold ourselves accountable as artists wherever we might live and work. Adam W. Sadberry is a remarkably effective, genuine, and motivating presence within our musical community. I look forward greatly to following his journey as an artist teacher.”
