Enjoy Haydn and Mozart's piano works performed as they intended them to be heard — on a historic Viennese fortepiano in an intimate setting.

During the Classical era in Vienna, composers expected their keyboard music to entertain relatively small audiences in smaller-scale spaces than today’s large concert halls. And, the era's pianos (known as "fortepianos") are very different from modern Steinways.

Fortepianist Daniel Adam Maltz is based in Vienna and studied Historical Performance at the Royal Academy of Music in London and at Vienna's University for Music and Performing Arts. He performs on historic Viennese fortepianos, utilizing the vast range of tones, colors, and techniques familiar to Classical era composers.

Daniel Adam Maltz is presenting a workshop on Tuesday, February 28th, and a masterclass on Thursday, March 2nd.
