Sam Glaser will perform at the Jewish Cultural Center on Sunday, March 21, at 4 p.m.

Named one of the top 10 Jewish artists in the U.S. by Moment magazine, Glaser performs in an average of 50 cities a year.

Glaser is equally comfortable behind a grand piano in intimate solo concerts, leading his eight-piece band, or headlining with full orchestra. While he typically performs in synagogues and Jewish Community Centers, he has appeared at such venues as the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, Staples Center, and Dodger Stadium as well as on Broadway and at the White House. He has traveled the world over in concert, from Sydney to London to Hong Kong to Tel Aviv.

Glaser’s children’s CD Soap Soup was a winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, a Parents Choice award, and a National Association of Parenting Publications award. In addition to the 20 albums of his own compositions, he has published four collections of lyrics and poetry, four musicals, three sheet music songbooks of his Jewish music and an SATB choral book.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for youth, four to 18 years old. For more information, or to reserve tickets, use the RSVP form at jewishchattanooga.com or
