John Adams (Worcester, 15 de febrer de 1947) és un compositor i director d'orquestra estatunidenc, conegut especialment per les seves fortes implicacions amb la música minimalista i un dels noms més populars de la música clàssica avui.[1]

Nascut en una família amant del jazz, el seu pare tocava el saxofon i la seva mare cantava, va aprendre a tocar el clarinet i tocava en grups i orquestres locals.

Va estudiar música a la Universitat Harvard i posteriorment al Conservatori de San Francisco, establiment del qual més tard en fou director. A més també fou director del New Music Ensemble.

El 1978 fou nomenat assessor i, posteriorment, compositor resident de l'Orquestra Simfònica de San Francisco a instàncies del director Edo de Waart. El 1985 va contraure matrimoni i es mudà a Berkeley, Califòrnia, on resideix i treballa des de llavors com a compositor i organitzador de concerts, a més de col·laborar amb autors com Robert Ashley, Glenn Branca, Gavin Bryars, John Cage, Meredith Monk i Steve Reich.

Adams adquirí fama a Europa per les seves obres orquestrals i la seva òpera Nixon in China,[2]però també com a director del Schönberg-Ensemble, la London Sinfonietta i l'Ensemble Modern.

Estil

La seva producció inclou obres per a orquestra, òpera, vídeo, cinema i dansa, entre d'altres. En algunes de les seves obres experimenta en el camp de la música electrònica. Composicions com Harmonium, Harmonielehre, Shaker Loops i The Chairman Dances es troben entre les més conegudes i interpretades de la música contemporània americana. En aquestes obres ha portat el minimalisme a un terreny nou i fresc, caracteritzat per sonoritats lluminoses i per un fort apropament a les formes musicals.

Adams pertany a la segona generació de músics minimalistes. Mentre que en l'obra de Steve Reich el minimalisme es caracteritza per aspectes constructius i pel repetiment mecànic d'elements harmònics i rítmics, Adams crea moments expressius espectaculars mitjançant una dilació alentida i canvis harmònics abruptes.
