Child Piano Prodigy Plays for Packed Concert House in Bonita Springs

12-year-old child prodigy Noah Waddell is playing classical piano concerts to packed houses—and Bonita Springs is lucky to have him.

On Thursday, March 6 at 7 p.m., Waddell will perform classical masterworks from Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Mozart, Liszt and more at the Center for Performing Arts’ Hinman Auditorium.

“How perfect to have a child prodigy performing at our new Center for Performing Arts Bonita Springs,” said Performing Arts Director Craig Price. “The new Center for Performing Arts will serve thousands of local youths like Noah in music, theater, dance and the arts.”

Some of Noah’s recent engagements, according to this article from the Naples Daily News, include Big Arts on Sanibel Island, the Sugden Theatre in Naples, and the Steinway Gallery in Miami.

When not playing piano or donating his time, Noah enjoys a variety of activities including tennis, hiking, fishing, and pickleball. He also loves his two Havanese dogs, Bach and Mozart. And according to the Daily News, Noah has built a unique reputation as an explosive and physical young performer not afraid to take risks.

“I am very grateful for my God-given gift of music and my utmost desire is that you will enjoy it too,” he said.

Advance tickets for “Noah Waddell- Concert Piano” include hors d’oeuvres with $30 for members, $35 for nonmembers and $40 for everyone on the day of the show.
