The grandson of a lifelong church organist, Michigan-born baritone Adam Cole studied pipe organ performance with Robert H. Murphy at Interlochen Arts Academy and Paula Pugh Romanaux at Kalamazoo College before turning his focus to vocal music. Currently a member of the Grace Cathedral Choirmen, Mr. Cole has made regular appearances with Bay Area vocal ensembles for over a decade, including AVE, Schola Cantorum SF, Choralis, California Bach Society, Chora Nova, Pacific Collegium, Midsummer Mozart Festival Chorus, San Francisco Bach Choir & Concentus, Stanford Early Music Singers, and San Francisco Renaissance Voices. He also enjoys creating composite "one-man choir" recordings of his favorite masses, motets and secular shanties, in which he sings all voice parts from bass to treble. As an amateur arranger, Mr. Cole is an occasional  contributor to the Choral Public Domain Library of online music editions (click here to visit the CPDL web site).
