CHECK THIS VIDEO OUT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iYlEE5KHEo About Adam Wolff Adam Wolff has been playing the piano for most of his life. Starting at the age of 8, he spent ten years studying classical piano performance, music theory, and creative music expression. Raised in New York and Chicago, he returned to New York City in the 80s and spent many years playing music full-time in Manhattan. While living in New York, Wolff studied with several great pianists: Barry Harris (Keeper of the Bebop Flame), Mike Longo (Musical Director for Dizzy Gillespie), and Kenny Werner (Author of Effortless Mastery and a global music legend). He also performed/recorded with many great jazz players including Victor Lewis, Calvin Hill, Rebecca Franks, and others. He was fortunate to record with two of Ahmad Jamal’s drummers: Vernel Fournier and Frank Gant. (Vernel Fournier is credited with developing the iconic drumbeat used in Jamal’s recording of “Poinciana” in the 1950s.) During this time, Wolff also taught music at the Johnny Colon School of Music in East Harlem, as well as playing in clubs, restaurants, cafes, and private engagements throughout the New York City region. In 1987, he was approached by Long Island University in Brooklyn and offered a full music scholarship. He received a degree with honors in 1990. Relocating to San Diego in the 1990s, Adam Wolff performed with different groups, ranging from jazz to popular dance music to creative expression performances. In 2004, he co-founded Blue44, a music collective with a distinctive theme of “ambient grooves”. Wolff’s music contains key elements of excitement and hard-swinging, soulful, creative musical expression. These elements come through in all his performances.

"Lend Me a Soprano" is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud comedy, set in 1934 when glamour, egos, and high notes rule the opera world. The Cleveland Opera Company is buzzing with anticipation for a sold-out performance starring their internationally renowned diva. But when the temperamental soprano finally arrives (hours late) she brings with her a jealous husband, a fiery personality, and enough drama to rival anything happening onstage. As tempers flare and misunderstandings spiral out of control, the company’s carefully planned evening begins to unravel in spectacular fashion. With doors slamming, disguises flying, and identities constantly mistaken, the women step into the spotlight in this hilarious, high-energy twist on Ken Ludwig’s classic farce "Lend Me a Tenor." A sparkling screwball comedy where the stakes are high, the egos are higher, and the laughs come at a breakneck pace. By the final curtain, audiences will be wiping away tears -not from tragedy, but from pure, unstoppable laughter.
