Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—while I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, as of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—only this and nothing more …”

After its sold-out run of 2023, the must-see event of the Halloween season is back—and as bone-chilling as ever! With new twists, familiar tales, and its unique brand of horror, Tales of the Grotesque brings literature’s most depraved characters to life … and death.

Daniel Adam Maltz – Fortepiano Concert

September 17, 2024

The Campbell House Museum presents Vienna-based Daniel Adam Maltz performing on a 1792 Viennese fortepiano — the early piano as Mozart and Beethoven knew it. Doors open at 6:30 pm with the performance beginning at 7 pm.

The concert is part of Maltz’ 70-city North American tour. “Hearing these pieces on a Viennese fortepiano in a more intimate space like the Campbell House helps the music come alive in a new, extraordinary way” says Maltz, adding, “I’ll introduce each piece and, post-concert, the audience can ask me questions and see this rare instrument up close.”

Called “master of the Viennese fortepiano” (The Common Reader) and “the foremost performer in the world of the fortepiano” (Aspen Daily News), critics say about Maltz, “The recital was a triumph… It was a privilege to hear an artist of this caliber” (Marblehead Current).

Buy tickets: HERE

“While she was dreaming, the window blew open, and a boy dropped to the floor. He was accompanied by a strange light, no bigger than your fist, which darted about the room like a living thing. It must have been this light that woke her … “

When her dreams invade the waking world, a misfit storyteller leaves high society behind as she’s whisked away to a universe of her own making. Joined by a quarrelsome fairy and the boy who taught her to fly, she quickly discovers that a life of adventure comes at a price. With the memory of her family fading, she and her companions must outwit a hungry crocodile, brawl with pirates, and find the magic within themselves to return home again, or remain in the land of make-believe forever.

An immersive glimpse of Edwardian Toronto featuring the music of Strauss, Rachmaninoff, and Vivaldi, Peter Pan and the Wendy Lady invites you to take flight and join Wendy on a journey of self-discovery amidst the historic backdrop of Campbell House Museum. With just a pinch of faith and fairy dust, this whimsical adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s classic tale takes audiences on a moonlit voyage past the second star to the right, then straight on till morning.
