Springtime Music Videos & Party Idea

By

I started thinking about Easter and what music might be included in the “sound track” for this celebration. Optimism, renewal, a new beginning and just plain fun.

Here is a short program of Solo Piano recordings featuring excerpts of songs:

“I Can See Clearly Now” Jimmy Cliff

“Beach Spring” Benjamin Franklin White (1844)

“Here Comes The Sun” George Harrison

“Skye Boat Song” from Outlander

“Easter Parade” Irving Berlin

 

 Elegant Music Spanish Guitar & Piano Duo

I think planning music for an event is just as much fun a performing for that event.
Planning happens in the future. Desired result envisioned.
Art forms brought together aligning factors: delightful composition… Please watch this one minute video. 

Flute and Piano

Watch one minute video: Sheila and Eric Zimmermann performing Japanese Anime Theme “Omae Wa Mu”

The ingredients contributing to the success of this event were simple:

Great food & Nice People.

Or it might have been nice people enjoying great food prepared by talented people who were also nice…

Party Idea

Dinner Dance | Wine Dinner | Elegant Music Jazz Trio

More and more people are venturing out, getting together and enjoying the company of each other.

Garden Parties, High Tea, House Parties, Backyard Barbecue. Formal or casual, the essential is bringing people together.

 

Make your next party a Wine Dinner or a Dinner Dance with Wine. This event can be done indoors or outdoors in your backyard.

 

How is a Wine Dinner conducted?

 

See how a Dinner Dance Party progress through the evening.

 

Should I have a Pianist? Live Band? Or, DJ? (or all three :-)

 

Before talking about music selections…

…see the simple format that makes this party a great time: The Dinner Dance | Wine Dinner Party Itinerary

 


Mother Nature Has Been Busy.

 

 

 

 

I have been enjoying the rain and have watched Mother Nature do what Mother Nature naturally does; she has been very busy.

Everyday “The Great Outdoors” is getting greater. Mother Nature invites, “Come out and play.”

Creating occasions that bring people together is natural. I look forward talking with you and hearing your ideas for  entertaining your guests.

Sincerely, Eric Zimmermann

Please watch this video.

It will be plain to see that we had fun performing at the Los Verdes Golf Course bridal show in Palos Verdes.

If you like an ocean view and want to take sunset pictures, this is the location.

We met creative couples with great ideas who were excited about planing their special day.

There were talented wedding and event professionals and amazing hors d’oeuvres…

Yes, we had fun :-)

 

Requests

Each song in the Elegant Music Quartet repertoire were once requests.

Music is personal; unique to every individual. Choosing music for a wedding is an adventure of discovery. One great song leads to another.

Interesting music requests from brides and their families have contributed to the Elegant Music Quartet repertoire. Over the years our quartet music books have grown in volume.

Genres include: Motion Picture themes, Classic Rock, Swing, Latin, Reggie, Jazz and Classical Music.

Autumn Dinner Party with the Elegant Music Jazz Trio

Elegant Music Jazz Trio smiling underneath :-)
 

It is amazing the infinite variety of music possible with solo piano. As a pianist the keyboard is like an orchestra at my fingertips; I can play just about play anything.

 

Any melody, any song, any Christmas Carol, even “Happy Birthday” can be found somewhere on the piano keyboard.

 

 

The piano can play and sustain many notes at one time. So melody and harmony and rhythm are played by this single instrument.

 

With piano it is possible for a single performer to entertain hundreds of people.

 

Beauty And The Beast (Jazz Waltz) Solo Piano

 

Out doors or in locations where an acoustic piano is not available. It is easy to bring a keyboard and small amplification.

 

Talking about music with another starts an adventure of discovery.

 

Adding your favorite instruments to piano expands the variety of music possible exponentially.

The Prayer

Art communicates simple yet powerful concepts that inspire and beget more art. You could say it “goes viral” but in a good way :-)

Creativity wins the day. It’s organic, non GMO, polyunsaturated, and best of all, it’s free! Go ahead and splurge on it.

Helping to plan music for a special event or wedding celebration is a lot of fun. Everyone gets caught up in the creative process. I get inspired, the people I am helping get inspired, and together we create something beautiful.

True, we are all in this together so, here’s to our new beginning 2021. Happy New Year Everyone!
