The Bible Story Family

  Classical pianist Sam Rotman has presented concerts and given his testimony in sixty-two countries. Both the concerts and the testimonies have been outstanding. Trained at Juilliard School, he averages one hundred concerts each year. We had the privilege of hearing him at Fourth Baptist Christian School recently where he played for both the students and the Golden Agers . The selections were interesting to both young and old as he provided introductions which helped the audience anticipate and listen closely to what he played. Mr. Rotman accepted Christ during his years at Juilliard though the testimony of fellow students who encouraged him to read the New Testament. Coming from a Jewish home, that was a challenge, but he became a committed Christian and in every concert eagerly shares how God has worked in his life through Jesus Christ. During the 2023-2024 season Mr. Rotman will be performing throughout the United States. Check his schedule online at samrotman.com to see if h
