Composer, arranger, orchestrator, and multi-instrumentalist Calder Adkins has never been one to settle for focusing on only one aspect of music. A 2023 graduate of Boston’s Berklee College of Music, Calder has a wealth of experience as a music director, music supervisor, arranger, composer, transcriber, copyist, and/or performer for various projects, concerts, and events at Berklee and around Boston.

Since moving to Boston in 2019, Calder has been fortunate to learn from the industry’s best. He has studied saxophone with Jackie Beard and Edmar Colón, composition with Brian Buch, arranging with Jeri Sykes and Tsunenori “Lee” Abe, piano with Ben Cook (The Boston Pops), and conducting with fifty-year veteran of Broadway pits Eric Stern.

Calder currently works as a Music Director for Celebrity Cruises all over the globe, and is available for remote session work as well as arranging, composing, transcribing, and score preparation.
