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).
