A composer, author, educator and performer, Bruce Adolphe is the Music and Education Advisor for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, founding creative director of PollyRhythm Productions, and the comic keyboard quiz-master of NPR\'s Piano Puzzlers.
Co-hosted with Fred Child, Piano Puzzlers features Adolphe at the piano, playing folk tunes and popular songs he\'s re-written in the styles of famous Classical composers for call-in contestants. In a style that is a cross between Car Talk and Will Short\'s puzzles for NPR\'s Weekend Edition Sunday, Adolphe and Fred Child informally talk about the musical issues raised by the comic compositions. The show\'s popularity during the last year has led to its inclusion in the listening options for Delta Airlines.
Formerly on the faculties of the Juilliard School and New York University and a Visiting Lecturer at Yale, Adolphe has been the lecturer of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center since 1992, and has been featured in nationally broadcast Live from Lincoln Center television programs.
