Boston Pops Concerts featuring the Euphonium!!

Adam had the great pleasure of performing as Guest Soloist with the world famous Boston Pops Orchestra for three concerts (June 12, 13, and 14) at Symphony Hall in Boston, Massachusetts.

The soloist’s program included the World Premieres of orchestral versions (arranged and orchestrated by Adam Frey) of Sin tu Amor by Miguel Sandoval, Pantomime by Philip Sparke, and encore The Volunteer by Walter Rodgers. Aaron Copland’s Shall We Gather provided a contemplative lyrical interlude between the Sandoval and Sparke.

The Boston Pops also performed Gershwin’s Cuban Overture, Piston’s Suite from the Incredible Flutist, medleys of Irving Berlin, Kiss Me Kate, and Patriotic songs, and of course the finale of Sousa’s unquenchable Stars and Stripes.

Maestro Bruce Hangen led the concerts with the great charisma that earned him his position as the Principal Pops Guest Conductor. Hangen has worked with the Pops since 1979 and also conducts the Indian Hill Symphony and the Portland Opera Repertory Theatre in Maine. The Saturday evening concert was broadcast over Boston Radio Station WCRB 102.5.
