Garden City, NY - April 17, 2018 - The Adelphi choral ensembles celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center (PAC) with a beautiful concert under the baton of Karen Faust Baer. The Adelphi Chorale and the Adelphi Vocal Ensemble will perform on Sunday, April 29 at 4:00 p.m. on the Westermann Stage, Concert Hall in the Adelphi PAC, 1 South Ave, Garden City, New York.
 
In the first half of the concert, the Adelphi Vocal Ensemble performs a selection of madrigals as well as the Billy Joel classic “And So It Goes.” Then, the Adelphi Chorale performs Vivaldi’s Gloria in an arrangement by Clayton Westermann, a former Adelphi adjunct professor for whom the Westermann Stage is named. 
 
Enjoying a diverse career in solo performance, conducting, accompanying and pedagogy, pianist Karen Faust Baer maintains a vital musical presence. Presently, she is the conductor of the Adelphi choral ensembles and teaches in Adelphi’s Department of Music Education. Baer has been heard in recital at Lincoln Center, Town Hall, BAM, Israeli Cultural Foundation, the Tanglewood Music Institute, Princeton, college campuses and WQXR and WNYC radio stations. In recent years, Baer has appeared as piano soloist with the South Shore Symphony performing works by Beethoven, Gershwin and Chopin.
