Elefante - the Blog

Like you care. But in case you do...

I'm a Northern New Jersey-based artist and arts businessperson. I am a keyboardist, saxophonist, singer, composer, arranger, producer, and educator. I work for a performing arts company that serves many of North Jersey's great schools. I have played jazz music all over the world, including all the famous New York clubs. I am a conductor on Broadway and at the Paper Mill Playhouse in NJ, and spent a year as the Associate Conductor for the national tour of "Jersey Boys".

My passion is the arts. Most recently, my passions have been helping fellow performing arts professionals find a path to trod in this nebulous industry and helping to draw attention to the importance of arts education.

Which brings me to my blog. (The whole reason I created this lens.) I hope to use my blog as a funnel for my passion, and hope you feel free to add your experiences and insights as well. I look forward to seeing your comments!
