Biography of
Elliot Finkel
 

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.
