7PM / $25 | $7 Fees Get Tickets
Dave Adewumi
Imagined Futures is a bold, immersive concert experience rooted in the lineage of Black American improvised music. Dave Adewumi’s Altus bends and refracts jazz traditions into new sonic terrain into that reflect the contradictions of our present moment — restlessness, inequity, uncertainty, and the enduring hope for something better. Created collectively by the ensemble, the music reveals a “sixth voice,” a living presence that emerges only when five musicians commit fully to each other and to the work.
Dave Adewumi is an award winning trumpet player and composer recognized as one of the leading new voices in jazz. A graduate of the New England Conservatory and The Juilliard School, he became the first jazz trumpeter to receive the prestigious Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship in 2017. He went on to win 1st place at the 2019 Carmine Caruso International Jazz Trumpet Competition, the 2024 ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Award and Gregory Morris Composing Fellowship, and in 2025 received the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship.
Adewumi has been voted a “Rising Star” in the DownBeat Critics Poll and performs on some of the world’s most celebrated stages including Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center, and has appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. His collaborations span a wide spectrum of artists, from Harry Connick Jr., Raye, and Busta Rhymes, to Mary Halvorson, Jason Moran, Ingrid Laubrock, and Dave Douglas.
