Adria Stolk is a Boston-based composer of instrumental and vocal music. She is originally from Dallas, Texas, where she studied classical piano as a teenager.  Adria studied music composition at Boston University (D.M.A. 2017), Boston Conservatory (M.M. 2012), and Berklee College of Music (B.M. 2010). Her works have been performed by Jihye Chang, Inês Andrade, ALEA III, Arlington-Belmont Chamber Chorus, Boston Percussion Group, JACK Quartet, Videri String Quartet, Genesis Chamber Singers, Joint Venture Percussion Duo, and Calliope.

Adria’s compositions explore her emotional, spiritual, and cognitive responses to nature, human relationships, and life experiences. Currently, her compositional interests lie in finding ways to explore and interpret sensory and emotional stimuli through musical textures, shapes, and sounds. Adria views her compositions as explorations of life through sound.

Adria is on the faculty at Boston Conservatory, teaching courses in music theory, ear training, and score reading.
