Mainly Mozart, the San Diego nonprofit behind the internationally acclaimed Mainly Mozart All-Star Orchestra Festival, presents its first Club Amadeus Salon Concert Nov. 23, 2025 featuring acclaimed pianist Anton Nel. Club Amadeus is a series of four exclusive events showcasing top-tier classical artists in private, elegant settings.

Known for his masterful interpretations of Beethoven and versatility across repertoire, Nel has performed with leading orchestras including the Cleveland Orchestra, Chicago Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Seattle Symphony, and Detroit Symphony. In 2025, he will join the faculty at The Royal Conservatory of Music’s Glenn Gould School in Toronto. Earlier this year, Nel was announced as Mainly Mozart’s Artistic Partner for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. A longtime friend of the organization, Nel first joined the All-Star Orchestra Festival in 1989—as the festival’s very first featured soloist on the outdoor stage at The Old Globe. Each Club Amadeus event is hosted at a private residence and begin with a champagne reception and light appetizers at 2 p.m., followed by the concert at 3 p.m., and an intimate artist reception at 4 p.m. Club Amadeus membership is required for attendance. Club Amadeus membership is $1,000 per person and is fully tax-deductible. Membership information is available at www.mainlymozart.org/club-amadeus. Mainly Mozart® on Facebook / Instagram
