Adam Greene is a composer writing primarily instrumental works intended to re-explore the multidimensional interaction between composer, performer, and listener. He cites his collaborations with skilled and imaginative performers as vital to this pursuit and central to his musical development.

Writing music with a distinct dramatic intent, Greene often takes a textual source (either by authors and poets such as Calvino and Beckett or written by the composer himself ) as a point of departure. Indeed, his preoccupation with drama has led him (back) to the Classics, which have inspired a growing series of new works.
