Music for Seniors

Music for Seniors is a very successful concert series for senior centers, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. Featuring acclaimed pianist Elliot Nadel, the program repertoire consists primarily of pop standards, jazz, swing, show tunes and sing-a-longs from the 1910's through the 1960's.

Since 2001, Elliot has given over 100 Music for Seniors concerts. Tunes include such standards as Misty, Ain't Misbehavin', Body and Soul, Over the Rainbow, Autumn Leaves, Moon River and Always . Elliot performs for seniors of varying ages and physical conditions. His music triggers memories and touches chords with nearly everyone. Sometimes in a nursing home performance someone who hasn't said anything in months, will suddenly smile in recognition and start to sing.

Elliot took six years of piano lessons when he was a kid and otherwise has no formal training. In addition to his Music for Seniors concerts, he plays with the Velvet Swing Big Band and the non-profit Young At Heart Project.
