Join us for an intimate evening, "Music & Masters: Classical-era Vienna and the Fortepiano." Fortepianist Daniel Adam Maltz and soprano Jennifer Ellis Kampani present a rare experience of the music of Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven, performed on the predecessor to the modern piano. This historically informed program recreates the intimate sound world of Classical-era Vienna, where music was written for smaller spaces and lighter instruments than today’s concert halls and modern pianos. About the Artists: Vienna-based fortepianist Daniel Adam Maltz specializes in historically informed performance. Called “the foremost performer in the world of the fortepiano” (Aspen Daily News), he has been praised for imbuing “[Beethoven’s] tenderness, longing, and frustration into the very notes” (Orlando Sentinel), for “lavish but tasteful” playing (Classical Sonoma), and as “a privilege to hear” (Marblehead Current). He studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London and at the University for Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, and performs exclusively on historic Viennese fortepianos. GRAMMY-nominated soprano Jennifer Ellis Kampani is known for her expressive interpretations of early repertoire. She has appeared at Carnegie Hall and performed with leading ensembles including American Bach Soloists, Apollo’s Fire, Opera Lafayette, and Portland Baroque Orchestra. She lives in Los Angeles and teaches at USC. The Timken Museum of Art on Facebook / Instagram
