Historians Bringing Rare Concert Opportunity To New Hope This Spring

NEW HOPE, PA — The New Hope Historical Society presents an extremely rare opportunity to experience Haydn and Mozart’s piano works performed as they intended them to be heard — on a Viennese Fortepiano.

The society is bringing fortepianist Daniel Adam Maltz to New Hope for one concert only on April 16 beginning at 3 p.m. inside the Stephen Buck Theater at 180 West Bridge Street, New Hope. Tickets are $50.

During the Classical era in Vienna, composers expected their keyboard music to entertain relatively small audiences in more intimate spaces than today’s 1500-seat concert halls. And, the era’s pianos — known as Viennese fortepianos — are very different from modern Steinways

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.
