Faith, Music, and Milestones

Sam Rotman is a classically trained pianist who graduated from the Juilliard School and has performed over 3,400 concerts in 62 countries. In our conversation he shares his dramatic conversion from Orthodox Judaism to Christianity in 1971, which transformed not just his faith but his entire approach to music and performance.

The episode explores how his newfound faith led him to play concerts everywhere from prestigious concert halls to jungle villages, always with the goal of sharing the gospel through classical music excellence.
