BIO

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, the Hollywood Bowl and the London Palladium. He has also performed three times at the White House. He has performed with symphony orchestras in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. (National), Baltimore, Dallas.



He has served as the music director for Queens Pop Orchestra. Elliot has performed hundreds of recitals across the globe, both as a soloist, and together with his brother, Ian Finkel who is a xylophone virtuoso. Elliot also appeared on Broadway three times 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. He has played and conducted for such diverse artists as Ginger Rogers, Milton Berle, Danny Thomas, Regis Philbin, and Theodore Bikel. He is also very 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 the early 90’s both in Los Angeles and New York.

BWW Review: Sean Patrick Murtagh Brings Mario! To The Green Room 42

Mario Lanza brought Opera to Hollywood and Sean Patrick Murtagh brought Mario Lanza to the Cabaret World at The Green Room 42 last night. Sean's lyric baritone effectively handled the repertoire usually sung by a tenor's voice and brought a distinctive vivacity to the songs usually associated with Mario Lanza and other celebrated tenors. Actually this show was about Mario and Richard (not Tucker). It was a heartfelt tribute to Sean's vocal teacher Richard who first exposed him to the Mario Lanza songbook. With his superior musical theater acting skills and charming personality Sean Patrick Murtagh is an exciting addition to the Cabaret World. Similar to the Metropolitan Opera, The Green Room 42 was full of Bravo's last night and I was thinking 3 Tenors plus 1 great Lyric Baritone would also make a great performance.
