Best-known for his score for the worldwide theatre hit War Horse, Adrian is equally at home in the concert hall, with a whole evening of his orchestral works, including the world premiere of his Violin Concerto, performed at London Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in June 2023.

He's received commissions from many areas of the classical music world including the BBC Proms, and has worked with the UK's top orchestras including the BBC Symphony, BBC Philharmonic and BBC Concert Orchestras, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Opera North.

His scores for Britain's National Theatre in the past 20 years need no introduction.. Coram Boy, War Horse, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and Angels in America, have all transferred to Broadway and achieved international fame.

His accessible musical style is rooted in various influences including 20th-century English and American music, and is focusssed strongly on lyricism, rich harmony and strong melody. He's a strong advocate of live music being performed as much for the enjoyment of the performers as the audience.
