Fortepianist Daniel Adam Maltz and soprano Jennifer Ellis Kampani present 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.
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.
“His Mozart sonata is so light, it almost giggles… and cannot contain its joie de vivre.”
The Sausalito Center For The Arts is thrilled to present this unique chance to experience the Classical era, so get your tickets now!

“Maltz is a marvelous and sincere artist... He is careful and deliberate, yet his performance also projects the dramatic intent, musical personality, warmth, and even the humor we find in the scores”
