CAMDEN — Camden Opera House, 29 Elm St., will present Vienna-based Daniel Adam Maltz performing on a 1792 Viennese fortepiano — the early piano as Mozart and Beethoven knew it — Friday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m. 

The concert is part of Maltz’ 70-city North American tour.

“Hearing these pieces on a Viennese fortepiano helps the music come alive in a new, extraordinary way,” said Maltz, in a news release.

He will introduce each piece and, post-concert, the audience can ask questions and see this rare instrument up close.  

"These composers weren’t figures in a dusty history book,” said Maltz, who is returning to the opera house after last year’s popular concert. “They were flesh-and-blood humans using music to communicate deep emotions that are still very relatable today.”
