Marvin Goldstein, a highly acclaimed pianist, arranger and entertainer, began musical training at age 9. When he was 18 years old Marvin was awarded a music scholarship to Tel Aviv University School of Music, Tel Aviv, Israel. His studies continued at the famed "Mozarteum" of Salzburg, Austria. He completed a Bachelor and Master of Music degrees at Florida State University, where his performance degrees were earned on the French horn.

Goldstein has many honors to his credit. He is listed in Who's Who in Music in Europe at Cambridge, England. Additionally, he is a National Keyboard Artist with the Kawai America Corporation. Goldstein is currently working with Palestinian and Israeli singers, Arab and Jewish. He believes the power of music can, given the opportunity, change hearts, minds and souls and bring a lasting peace to The Middle East.

He travels extensively throughout North America, Central America, Europe and Australia sharing his gift of music. He performed last year in the Baltic Capitals, Italy and Greece as well as several appearances all over the continental USA.
 
Goldstein has recorded over 40 compact discs, many on his own label. Eight productions have been recorded with full orchestra. Also, he has arranged 15 piano solo arrangement books, including many sacred hymns.
 
Goldstein has the unique ability to translate his ideas and emotions through his abilities and love of music. In presenting a mood that may be happy or sad, the piano comes alive under his direction.
