David McCullough intended to write a dual biography of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, and their relationship before, during, and after the creation of the United States. However, in Adams, he discovered a man deserving of his own biography that firmly places him at the center of America's creation. Thus, the Pulitzer Prizes-winning and HBO series "John Adams" came to be. | History in Five

Happy 75th birthday to the brilliant composer, John Adams! 🎊 To celebrate, here’s a clip of 'The Chairman Dances', which we performed with Karina Canellakis last November. Bachtrack described Adams’s rhythms as 'irresistible' and we’d have to agree 🕺 We’ve got more John Adams to come! We’re performing his high-octane 'Short Ride in a Fast Machine' on Wednesday 23 February at the Southbank Centre, and we can't wait!
