Mid-Atlantic Symphony Hosts Guest Performer Adam Glaser

Award-winning conductor, composer and pianist Adam Glaser joins an ensemble of Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra musicians June 2 and 3 for an eclectic evening of jazz, crossover and contemporary music.

The special Jazz Pops program will be presented on Thursday, June 2 at the Avalon Theater in Easton, MD, and on Friday, June 3 at Epworth United Methodist Church in Rehoboth Beach, DE. Both performances begin at 7 PM. The Rehoboth Beach program will be followed by a fund-raising reception at the Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant in Rehoboth Beach.

“Audience reaction to our regular season concerts was so overwhelmingly positive that we decided to showcase some of our talented musicians in an additional program certain to please a variety of musical tastes,” said Mid-Atlantic Symphony Board President Jeffrey Parker. “It is clear that, after two years of pandemic restrictions, music lovers are eager to return to live performances.”
