Ms. Montgomery’s concerto was performed by a consortium of nine US orchestras including the St. Louis\, Baltimore\, Milwaukee and Indianapolis symphonies\, in the spring of 2022.  All seven works were recorded in summer 2022 with the chamber orchestra A Far Cry for New Amsterdam Records.  During the 22/23 season\, Mr. Pratt performs this concerto with 13 more orchestras\, including Boston\, Chicago\, Minnesota and Atlanta. \nAwadagin Pratt is a Yamaha artist.  For more information\, please visit www.awadagin.com. \n \nThe Afternoon Recital Series is made possible\, in part\, through the support of the Ocean County College Foundation. \nShare This:

You might know him from his PBS-TV performances\, his appearance on Good Morning America or from one of his prior concerts in Sellersville. Chris tells his incredible story by breathing new life into the timeless music of the 60s & 70s with his über-talented band – complete with a touch of live brass just like in the old days. \nMany of his unique arrangements have been crafted with the magic touch of Four Seasons arranger and pop-rock legend Charlie Calello (who is also a fan\, commenting\, “It’s been a long time since I heard a voice like this.”) Chris’s show will leave you feeling sun-kissed long after he leaves the stage. PS: If you know Chris from his previous albums and shows\, don’t worry\, he’ll be singing favorites like “Unchained Melody” and “Betcha By Golly Wow” as well. \n“Songs you know and love from a voice you’ll never forget.” – BroadwayWorld \n“Chris is what I call ‘the ultimate entertainer.’ I love his voice!” – Darlene Love \n“Chris is so good at making the classics his own.
