SNACKTIME CAPE MAY CONVENTION HALL

SNACKTIME is Philadelphia’s already beloved seven-piece band. Created in Summer 2020, the group began performing free shows in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square that quickly attracted huge crowds. This progressed to sold-out headlining shows, support for national touring artists, and slots at major music festivals.

SNACKTIME began 2024 with a triumphant sold-out New Year’s Eve show at Brooklyn Bowl Philly and has remained on the road throughout the year, including their largest NYC headliner to date at Bowery Ballroom, and support for multiple Portugal. The Man U.S. tours. In September, they’ll support Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe on an East Coast tour.

In describing their sound, Paste Magazine says, “combining their influences, which range from jazz to rap to rock to punk and R&B, SNACKTIME are one of the most original ensembles out there right now.”

BAY ATLANTIC SYMPHONY

“Alpine Jazz Adventure”
Celebrity cellist Amit Peled joins the Bay Atlantic Symphony and will play a work he has long championed, the eclectic concerto by Austrian pianist/composer/philosopher Friederich Gulda. The work is for cello and wind orchestra with a jazz rhythm section and bounces between swing and funk, to rustic Austrian folk melodies. It is tuneful and dramatic, with wildly expressive passages. The evening’s program begins with one of the greatest of all wind serenades, by Mozart. The audience will also have the joy of experiencing Mr. Peled’s intensely expressive artistry performing solo Bach.
