the Adam Farouk Orchestra

The Adam Farouk Orchestra (“AFO”) is a live-performance musical initiative established by Adam Farouk, comprising a rotating roster of professional musicians based around the Greater Boston area. Its primary repertoire is original music composed by Farouk, specifically that which falls within the pop/rock genres.
 
The idea for such an ensemble was developed gradually over the better part of a decade, but was only recently formalized, with the adoption of the designation “orchestra” to reflect both the revolving nature of the group’s membership as well its focus on development and stylistic exploration. A smaller “mobile” ensemble has been more recently established, consisting of two singer-guitarists, able to command smaller venues with more ease than would a full rock band.    
 
Configurational experimentation has been a highlight of the ensemble, which started its revival in 2013 as a five-piece keyboard-based pop group, before pairing itself down to what the band now reflexively refers to as its “string-quartet” phase, characterized by an increased emphasis on the intermingling of guitar textures, and the strategic abandoning of the drum set as the source of rhythmic cohesion. Though challenging and creatively fulfilling, this year the AFO looks to emerge from this period, and return to the more full sound of a traditional rock band. 
 
The AFO assembles again this year for a series of limited engagements, with band-squads featuring many of the best that Greater Boston has to offer. Performance and ticket information will be posted on social media as soon as it becomes available. We hope to see you all there, and look forward to sharing with you a high-impact live experience, filled with both energizing performance and affirming, connective, and inspiring music!
