Associate Director for Stakeholder Relations at Beyond Barnard

Adam Lutz is the Associate Director for Stakeholder Relations at Beyond Barnard, where he started in April 2024. Originally from Portage, Michigan, Adam holds a Master of Music degree in Music Composition & Theory from NYU Steinhardt.  Adam also earned a Bachelor of Music from Belmont University where he double majored in music composition and music theory, and minored in philosophy.  Before joining the Barnard family, he was the manager of a New York City tap room.

What was your first job?

While my first full-time job was managing a tap room here in New York City, my first paid position harkens back to my roots as a Midwesterner, where, at the ripe old age of twelve, I spent summers corn detasseling. 

What’s important to you in life outside of work?

Music has always and will always have a central role in my life. When I am not at work I can be found in my home studio, working on film scores, modular synthesizers, or audio-visual collaborations.
