Sam Glaser with the LA Jewish Symphony
About the concert

With over 120 gifted performers on the stage, Sam Glaser delivered his most ambitious concert to date before an enthusiastic crowd at the historic Alex Theater in Los Angeles. Conducted by Dr. Noreen Green, the acclaimed L.A. Jewish Symphony integrated seamlessly with Glaser's eight piece band, an adult choir and the Kol Bamidbar Children's Choir.

Now that Sam's entire two hour show has been orchestrated, your local symphony or community orchestra and choirs can be engaged to provide a truly unforgettable program. For the ultimate in an elegant and moving evening you must experience Sam at a grand piano surrounded by the warmth and majesty of an orchestra. Any interested organizations are welcome to contact Marcia Baron (800-972-6694, marcia@samglaser.com) to customize an orchestral appearance for your community and to discuss rates.
