Event company, InHouse productions, knew about Adam's soft spot for a good standing ovation (and seafood buffet), and commissioned Adam to step up as Musical Director for the 2012 Toyota Dealer of the Year Awards - held in Hall 2 of the CTICC.
Adam with Timothy Moloi, Bianca Le Grange, Letyoa Mangezi and Shaun V
The mega event kicked off with Adam at the helm of an 18-piece big band featuring some of the most celebrated musicians and soloists of the day including: Bianca Le Grange, Letoya Mangezi, Elvis Blue, Tim Moloi, and Shaun V.
Knowing how much car dealers loved the sound of a big band, InHouse productions conceived and put together an amazing show, and got the audience "In the mood" with some familiar Big Band classics, and upped the tempo with a few bespoke arrangements on modern pop numbers like Adele's "Rumour Has It" and "This Love" by Maroon 5. Industry stalwart, JB Arthur, helped out on the arranging front.
As a grand finale, InHouse productions commissioned Adam to arrange Heather Small's "Proud", for full big band, and invited the 70-piece Tygerberg Children's Choir to join in. Oh, what a night...!
