"The Mad, Mad World of Adam Bergeron" is a one-of-a-kind performance showcasing the original compositions of pianist/composer/multi-instrumentalist Adam Bergeron (an Orange native), spanning from classical and New-Age to rock and metal and everything in between.

The program will be presented in a variety-show format where the setting (ie. stage, balcony, audience) will change as often as the genres of the pieces. Featured guests include local legends Terry Parker and Richard Chase, along with Boston-based cellist/multi-instrumentalist John Hanifin and many of Adam's friends and colleagues over the past thirty years.

After leaving the UMass music program in 2001, Adam worked as house/stage manager for regional arts venues (including the 1794 Meetinghouse for six years), served as musical director at the Athol Congregational Church, released 13 original solo CD's, and recorded music for filmscores and radio commercials. He now makes his living playing over 400 classical piano concerts a year for the elderly.

When he's not performing or driving all over New England, his passion is creating and recording new sounds, blending the various influences he'd discovered while playing in jazz, folk, hip-hop, reggae, rock & metal bands as a multi-instrumentalist. His wide range of skills and experience keeps him searching for new combinations of styles, defying the age-old belief that "musicians should specialize in only one genre".
