The Hudson Riverfront Performing Arts Center, Inc. (HRPAC) is a New Jersey-based 501-C-3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to expand and enhance the arts in North Hudson with the goal of someday building a performance space on the spectacular Hudson River waterfront in Weehawken, New Jersey.
Through its two free concert series, Summer Concerts on the Hudson and the UBS Atrium Series, HRPAC has developed an excellent track record for bringing fine and diverse programming to our region and for sharing its programs with the area’s youth through arts education outreach. HRPAC has presented hundreds of performing artists to thousands of fans, and even had the honor of featuring many Grammy and Tony Award-winning artists. It has also brought educational programs, free of charge, to thousands of students in eight of Hudson County’s school districts.

Adam Kantor recently appeared in the Tony Award-winning musical, The Band’s Visit, and won a Grammy for his vocal performance in this critically-acclaimed show. Previously on Broadway, he played the role of Motel the tailor in the revival of Fiddler On The Roof, directed by Bartlett Sher. He has also starred with The New York Pops at Carnegie Hall.
Adam made his Broadway debut while still attending Northwestern University, playing Mark in the final cast of Rent which was filmed for TV and DVD distribution by Sony Pictures. He reunited with Rent director Michael Greif in Next To Normal on Broadway, in which he played Henry. Adam starred opposite Betsy Wolfe in the New York City revival of The Last Five Years, directed by its writer and composer, Jason Robert Brown. Off-Broadway, Adam has appeared as Princeton/Rod in Avenue Q.
At The Old Globe in San Diego, he portrayed Proteus in Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen Of Verona directed by Mark Lamos, and Jeff in the world premiere of Nobody Loves You by Itamar Moses and Gaby Alter. Adam took on the role of Eddie in the world premiere theatrical adaptation of Diner by Sheryl Crow and Barry Levinson, directed by Kathleen Marshall. His TV roles include Pununzio in Showtime’s Billions and Ezra in The Good Wife on CBS.
Adam co-founded the international arts education nonprofit Broadway in South Africa whose mission it was to provide arts education to underprivileged youth in that country. He also co-founded the gustatory storytelling series, StoryCourse (StoryCourseNYC.com). Adam graduated from Northwestern University and had additional training at the British-American Dramatic Academy.
Alexandra Silber is an international actress, Grammy-nominated singer, and writer. In London’s West End she played starring roles in The Woman in White, Fiddler on the Roof, Kiss Me Kate, and Carousel. In New York she’s appeared in Hello Again, Master Class, She Loves Me, Song of Norway, Arlington, and the 2016 Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof. Alexandra was a Grammy nominee for her portrayal of Maria in the symphonic recording of West Side Story with the San Francisco Symphony. Her debut novel “After Anatevka,” and memoir “White Hot Grief Parade” are both published by Pegasus Books and are also available on Audible. Alexandra trained at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
