Daniel Adam Maltz: February 23, 7:30pm
General Admission $20

Daniel Adam Maltz is a fortepianist based in Vienna, Austria. He specializes in Wiener Klassik - Viennese Classicism - especially the works of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven performed on the Viennese fortepianos of their time.

Critics say, "The recital was a triumph... It was a privilege to hear an artist of this caliber" (Marblehead Current) and praise his performances for their "broad warmth" with "lavish but tasteful" playing (Classical Sonoma).

He is in demand worldwide with 50+ tour dates per year as a soughtafter soloist, Lieder accompanist, and clinician. Daniel also hosts Classical Cake, the podcast about Viennese classical music and culture.

ACCENT: April 14, 7:30pm
General Admission $20

Inspired by the wizardly jazz harmonies of TAKE 6 and The Hi-Lo's, the six singers of ACCENT, all of them accomplished arrangers and instrumentalists in their own right, are taking their love of close-harmony jazz singing - the denser and more intricate the better. They have released 5 albums, performed at the London A Cappella Festival, played dates across Europe, North America and Asia, and were featured in 2 sold-out Christmas shows at London's Royal Albert Hall. Their latest EP Journeying reflects a moment in time as the group explored new sounds, textures and production approaches during the lockdown of 2020.
