His musical skills have enabled him to perform at several concerts at the Festival of India in the USSR in 1987 with the well-known singer Gary Lawyer

Adrian Ezra (Class Of 1987)

Adrian Ezra carved out an admirable record in US college history: Unbeaten in intercollegiate team play in four years. In fact, in those four years he suffered just one defeat and that was in an individual championship.

His record is all the more remarkable because although Ezra arrived at Harvard University in 1990 his game was the international soft ball. The college game in the early nineties was hardball. Different ball, different court, different bounce, different strategy. Ezra responded by earning the number five spot on the Harvard team that first year and won every match that season. .

in 2004 Adrian was inducted into the CSA Hall of Fame
