F. Murray Abraham Debuts ELUSIVE THINGS: A SONG CYCLE at Carnegie Hall, 1/15

Actor F. Murray Abraham, best known for his Oscar-winning role in 1984's "Amadeus" is debuting a one night only concert (that he put together himself) at Weill RecitAl Hall in Carnegie Hall.  Cindy Adams could not conceive of him singing (much less debuting at such an iconic high stakes venue) and asked him about it for the New York Post.

When asked why he's doing it, Abraham replied "Beacuse I want to. And i can sing.  I'm a baritone, and I'm taking singing lessons." He went on to say that he will be performing eight original songs, with the lyrics comprising of poems of Ilene Starger and the music by Eric Shimelonis.

While Abraham may not be known for singing, he has had a lengthy career on the stage, and that is even where his career started, in a Los Angeles production of Ray Bradbury's The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit.  His screen credits include Scarface, Amadeus, Serpico, and All the President's Men, among others.  Theatre credits include Othello, Richard III, Waiting for Godot, Twelfth Night, and The Merchant of Venice.
