Pianist · New Orleans

Ben
Mader

Chopin, Mozart, and an hour of music for your room.

Why I play

I play because of what happens in a room when the music starts. The talking stops, and for an hour everyone in it is listening to the same thing.

That is what I am trying to make happen, whether the room holds forty people or four hundred.

What I play

Mostly Chopin and Mozart — nocturnes, waltzes, sonatas. I play for an hour without repeating myself, and I shape the programme to the room: quieter under a dinner service, fuller for a ceremony or a reception.

Where I play

  • Saint Matthew the Apostle Catholic Church
    Pianist and organist · River Ridge
  • St. Paul Lutheran Church
    Pianist and organist · Marigny, New Orleans

Beyond those, I play weddings, funerals and ceremonies, private events, and restaurant and hotel rooms around New Orleans.
