Hello: My name is Eric Zimmermann.
In addition to being a DJ/MC for weddings and parties I am also a pianist and band leader.
I lead a number of ensembles in performances throughout Southern California.
Each event is unique.
I look forward to speaking with you and hearing your ideas about music for your special event.

Elegant Music has been the sound track for Christmas and Holiday celebrations in Los Angeles since 1990.
“Christmas and the holiday season brings out the best in people.
As an important date approaches life seems to speed up.
It is probably true that most of us get more done when there is a deadline to push us along.”

Playing Christmas parties is always a lot of fun. I love it when I receive requests and all of a sudden guests start singing-along. Very often at a company party I am asked to accompany skits and performances by the employees. You thought lawyers could be so talented and entertaining :-)
Speaking of “The Law” I recall driving a little too fast in the afternoon one Christmas Day and being stoped by a policeman.
He looked at my license and asked me if “Rudolph was a male or female reindeer?”
He implied that if I answered correctly that he would not give me a ticket for speeding.
Rudolph is a male name so I said that “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer” was male.
He said that my answer was incorrect. Then with a twinkle in his eye he said, “Male reindeer lose their antlers in the fall and that Female reindeer keep their antlers until the spring.”
When I googled this I saw that in all pictures of Rudolph, “she” had antlers:
“Both sexes finish growing their antlers at the same time but shed them at different times of the year. Typically, males drop their antlers in the late fall, leaving them without antlers until the following spring, while females keep their antlers through the winter until their calves are born in the spring.”
The Policeman had been moved by the Christmas spirit and was enjoying talking to motorists and had become a bit of a comedian :-) I didn’t get a ticket.
Look at your calendar.
Tell me your ideas. I’ll tell you my ideas.
Together let’s make Christmas 2023 the best ever!

Shakespeare Club 171 S Grand Ave, Pasadena, CA 91105
It takes one to know one. Creative people gather and work well together. They participate in clubs and associations and find satisfaction in helping and making a difference. This “coming together” unites members in a common purpose. Energy is focused. Intended goals are achieved. Big effects are created and everyone in that group is proud of their accomplishment :-)
The philanthropic programs and cultural outreach enriching the community are the hallmark of the Shakespeare Club. Our birthday celebrant recognizes the good the Shakespeare Club is doing and supports these efforts.
Thank you to Janet Beggs past president of the Shakespeare Club for the opportunity to be a part of this inspiring event.
Here are links to some very memorable events at the Shakespeare Club that I have had the pleasure of participating in.
The above video is an excerpt from the 2022 Pasadena Follies at the Shakespeare Club.
