🪈 About Adrienne Baker:
Adrienne Baker is a flutist and interdisciplinary performance artist dedicated to exploring the connections between music, storytelling, and community. Her work often engages themes of memory, healing, and cultural reflection, blending visual and musical elements to create thoughtful, immersive experiences.

Her compositions reflect a mix of traditional and modern sensibilities, such as I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free with effects pedals and the playful Pug Suite for Flute and Cello. Adrienne’s performances have included engagements with ensembles such as the Sugar Hill Salon, the Harlem Chamber Players, and The Sinfonietta, with whom she has performed in productions such as Ratatouille: A TikTok Musical and Barbie in Concert.

The Grieving Place, her current project, invites audiences into a reflective space that navigates loss and remembrance, rooted in the belief that art can be a bridge to shared understanding. Adrienne finds deep inspiration in the communities she belongs to and aims to honor those connections in her music.

Adrienne has been fortunate to receive support for her artistic pursuits through various grants and residencies. She is a recipient of the Boston Opportunity Fund, the Live Arts Boston Grant, in collaboration with NorthStar Duo. As a solo artist, she has been granted awards from the Rutgers University Pop-up Arts Programming Fund. She was engaged in artist residencies, including the Connecticut Summerfest—with NorthStar Duo—and, as a solo artist, the Tofte Lake Residency, which offered her the opportunity to further explore collaborative and interdisciplinary artistic practices. In 2025, Adrienne also received a Fellowship award from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
