The Diocesan Choral Society's 2025 World Choral Championship win, centered on his piece 武藝 – Martial Arts, was named one of Radio Television Hong Kong's Top 10 Music Headlines of 2025. His commissions include the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Curtis Institute of Music, and the University of Michigan Concert Band, among many others, and his music has been performed by ensembles such as Alarm Will Sound, Hub New Music, and the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble.
A Curtis Institute of Music graduate, Adrian received his M.M. as the Milton L. Rock Composition Fellow and holds a B.M. with Highest Honors from the University of Michigan. He currently serves as Coordinator for Community Partnerships and on the Musical Studies faculty at Curtis, and continues to compose, teach, and champion new music.
