Elliot Finkel is a pianist,
conductor and composer of great magnitude and versatility. Not
only is his six-foot plus stature commanding, but his unique talent bridges
the gap between the classical and pop idioms.
Elliot has appeared on the great stages of
the world including Carnegie Hall, Hollywood Bowl, London Palladium and
three appearances at the White House. Some of the symphony orchestras he
has performed with include Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. (National), Baltimore,
Dallas and the Queens Pop Orchestra, which he served as music director
for two seasons. This coming season, he will be performing with the Los
Angeles Jewish Symphony Orchestra. He has played hundreds of recitals across
the globe, both as a soloist, and together with his brother, Ian Finkel,
xylophone virtuoso. Three times he has costarred on Broadway with Michael
Feinstein, with Sid Caesar, and with Ian Finkel and their father, Fyvush
Finkel.
Mr. Finkel’s concerts have become a favorite
on cruise ships of the world, such as the QE2 and the Rotterdam. He has
played and conducted for such diverse artists as Ginger Rogers, Milton
Berle, Danny Thomas, Regis Philbin, and Theodore Bikel. He is proud of
his eight-year association with the legendary tenor, Jan Peerce.
Mr. Finkel’s musical Finkel’s Follies
(starring his Dad) was a great favorite in 1990 both in Los Angeles and
New York. His new musical The Loves of George Sand will open this
coming season in New York City.
Mr. Finkel’s current compact discs, Rhapsody
and Rainbows, will be joined by his soon to be released Romances. |
