about

Saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist and music educator Sam Pilnick presents The Adler Suite - his debut recording with his steadfast ensemble, Sam Pilnick’s Nonet Project. On this ardent introductory statement, the Chicago-based bandleader takes his listeners on a trip to outer space with a nine-movement suite inspired by the Windy City’s scenic Adler Planetarium.

This stunning display of compositional acuity from Sam Pilnick was sparked by the artist’s 2017 trip to the Adler Planetarium as a chaperone for a school trip. A recent transplant to Chicago, Pilnick was struck by the sight of the Adler’s rounded dome of marble sitting on its perch at the end of the museum campus, overlooking views of the city, and of Lake Michigan and the sky above.

“As we entered The Adler, I was immediately inspired to write music, as I saw the original space craft that brought home the astronauts from the Gemini II mission and various other exhibits. Reading the explanations of our planet, solar system and galaxy filled my mind with musical thoughts. Over the next two years, I would venture back to the Adler to find inspiration for what would now be known as The Adler Suite.”
