Karl Jenkins, founder and composer for Adiemus, is truly one of our era's musical geniuses. Born in South Wales into a musical family, he grew up on the classics, learned piano and oboe, then migrated into Jazz where he played baritone and soprano sax. When he ventured down the path of composition, these diverse influences went with him. You'd expect his music to be interesting, and it is; what you don't expect is that it would also be arrestingly lovely. In Europe, Adiemus sells in the millions to listeners of both Classical and Popular music.
