David Manson’s ERG ensemble plays ‘Dreams’ inspired jazz at St. Pete’s Dalí Museum on Tuesday

David Manson and ERG Dr. David Manson—a music professor at St. Petersburg College—has worked with the likes of the recently-deceased Burt Bacharach, and his music has been heard on HBO, Fox, and even “Riverdale” on the CW.

Manson recently took inspiration from the Dalí Museum’s newest exhibit, “The Shape of Dreams,” to put together a few compositions, which he will perform at the museum  along with his modern jazz ensemble ERG, featuring David Pate on saxophone and flute, Tom Kersey on cello, TJ Glowacki on double bass, and Jim Stewart on drums.

Tickets to see David Manson and ERG play the Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg on Tuesday, March 30 are available for $15 but do not include admission to the gallery.
