December 9th: Boscovs Department Store: Take a break from holiday shopping; or continue to do so as you listen to your holiday favorites! Elliot will be at Boscovs Department Store at the Monroeville Mall from 11AM to 2PM. Styles will also include a few Broadway standards as Elliot revisits cabaret/solo piano style material.

December 16: Catch Elliot in the lobby of Fifth Avenue place, playing songs of the season! 2PM-4PM, Fifth Avenue Place (downtown Pittsburgh).

December 17: Carnegie Library of Carnegie presents, "A Christmas Cabaret". Elliot and a few friends present this second annual Holiday extravaganza...compiled, arranged, and scripted by Elliot himself. Join alumni music and dance students from Carnegie Mellon University, Point Park University, and Duquesne University.

As quoted by Elliot in the Carnegie new release, "...what makes this program so special is that it includes almost every genre of music from Christmas jazz standards to haunting sacred melodies that depict the Christmas/Advent season. The Carnegie Music Hall serves as the perfect venue to perform such material as it is acoustically and structurally ideal for the performance of jazz and soul influenced cabaret material as well as songs that exhibit legitimate classical singing; two styles that do not commonly need the aid of amplification...". This is an event YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS. Visit www.carnegiecarnegie.org for more information. Tickets are limited, so please arrive early! The show begins at 1PM.
