He was featured as a recitalist in several radio broadcasts. In 2008 a German radio station hosted a two-and-a-half-hour program about Mr. Elisi.

With his versatility he has garnered top awards at such diverse venues as the Venice Competition - which brought him a performance at the famous La Fenice theatre, in Italy - and the Oporto International Competition - which led to a broadcast for Portuguese national television.

An active chamber musician, Mr. Elisi has collaborated with many renowned artists and has also performed at the Taos and Ravinia Festivals.

He enjoys working with living composers and has premiered several works (some of which were dedicated to him) at debut recitals in Toulouse, France; Carnegie Recital Hall; as well as other venues in North and South America. He is the founder and artistic director of the Green Valley Chamber Music Festival, and he has previously directed the Piano Institute of the Las Vegas Music Festival. He is also active nationally and internationally as an adjudicator.
