Composer James Adler and soprano Dominika Zamara were awarded the 2025 Artistic Instincts International Awards.

At a celebration for Il Giubileo 2025 in Rome, Zamara gave the Italian premiere of Adler’s “Alleluia For Peace.” The piece was premiered earlier this year at Carnegie Hall. Also featured on the concert was a selection of Mozart arias. The composer conducted the Mozaika Quartet.

Following the concert, Adler and Zamara were honored with Artists Recognition awards sponsored by the Italian government. The 2025 Artistic Instincts International Awards were presented by the APS Cultural Association. Adler’s award reads, “For his extraordinary career as pianist and composer, capable of uniting cultures through music.”

The event was held on Oct. 24 at the Palazzo Valentini.
