“As human artists,
we can create beautiful statues, paintings, poems and books,

we can compose and play magnificent music.
We can experience their beauty,
we can see how they open us to eternal truths.

But none of these works of ours can look at us and say,

‘I love you – you are beautiful.'”

-Jean Vanier

I am Adam Junk and I accept Mr. Vanier’s Challenge. I am a trumpet performer and composer, taking up the pen in an Artist Diploma in Composition under the tutelage of Edward Top. I draw inspiration from my experiences with friends or family outdoors, either hiking, camping, and swimming. Born in Hobart, Tasmania, and raised on the Fraser River Delta, I hope to share my music with those who have ears for it.
