Garin Bader was just 3 when his mother, a piano teacher, began teaching him to play the piano. By age five, he made his first appearance on national television, performing on The Merve Griffin Show. By his teens, Garin received over a dozen classical piano competition awards, including the Artist’s International Young Musicians Audition, and the International Chopin Competition of New York. Part of his Chopin gold medal win included a private tour of Chopin’s home, a memory he tells in the narrative of his concert.

Today, Garin Bader enchants audiences in prestigious concert venues across the U.S., and internationally, including Carnegie Hall and the London Palladium. He is not only an exceptional classical stylist on the piano, his show has expanded to blend his love of magic and illusion for an evening of “mugic” that fills the stage with visual delights, consistently surprises, and leaves audiences spellbound. His closing scene portrays himself as 19th century Mozart composing at his piano with quill in hand, writing by the light of a lit candelabra he produces by illusion. Mozart’s rival, Solieri, steals in from the wings to poison Mozart’s cup, locks him in a trunk, then raises a black canopy. Seconds later, when the canopy falls, Marie Antoinette steps out of the trunk, an impressive twist on traditional magic’s metamorphosis illusion.

Garin’s extensive travels inspired him to record “One Heart’s Journey”, a CD of original “musical portraits and landscapes”. Each melody paints a story, particularly “Table for One”, which is part of his expanded show and features the choreography and dance of his talented wife, Vanessa. “Valiant Return”, “The Wish”, “Just One More Night”, and “Reaching Through the Moon” are just a few of the selections that will refresh your soul, relax your mind, and make your spirit soar.

When he’s not performing, Garin Bader can be found in his studio in Las Vegas where he teaches a core-force fitness strategy he’s developed for improving strength, building confidence, and enhancing your life. This strategy is key to his success, and he’s committed to teaching his methods to others.
