Fortepiano Concert at the Historic Pulaski Theatre
Saturday, April 25, from 2-4 p.m.
Ticket Sales: $15 General Admission | $10 Students
Fortepianist Daniel Adam Maltz presents an evening of Classical-era music performed on an original Viennese fortepiano. This intimate concert offers audiences the rare chance to hear Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven as they intended them to be heard.
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.
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.
Venue: Pulaski Theatre (14 West Main St., Pulaski, VA 24301)
