Daniel Adam Maltz is a Vienna-based fortepianist. He is “considered the foremost performer in the world of the fortepiano” (Aspen Daily News) and is in demand worldwide with 50+ tour dates per year as a sought-after recitalist, concerto soloist, director, Lied accompanist, and clinician.

Daniel specializes in Viennese Classicism — especially the works of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven — performed on the Viennese fortepianos of their time.

Critics say Daniel puts “[Beethoven’s] tenderness, longing and frustration into the very notes” (Orlando Sentinel) and “Maltz is a marvelous and sincere artist… It was a privilege to hear an artist of this caliber” (The Antic Arts).

Daniel studied fortepiano performance at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna and the Royal Academy of Music in London, refining his command of historical practices through private study with Ingomar Rainer.

For 2027, Daniel launched a 90-city tour commemorating 200 years since Beethoven’s death.

Smartphones and video games create a new landscape of lost connections to life experiences. The Next Gen features Tortoise Junior and Lil’ Hare in a whole new kind of race, where their adventures lead them into unexpected territory.

Taken from a catchy little number found in the 1679 edition of John Playford’s compendium of popular tunes entitled The English Dancing Master, the early music ensemble, No-Body’s Jigg was formed in 2005 by harpsichordist Ronan Khalil, recorder and traverso player Thibault Viviani, both hailing from France, Venezuelan cellist and gambist Tulio Rondon (and later, Anton Baba of Australia), and violinist and Wyoming’s own, Conor Jacobson, while all were studying at The Royal Conservatory of The Hague. The band was known for lively performances of diverse baroque repertoire centered around the four, core members, but they would often expand their ranks to facilitate orchestral works, concerti, and vocal programming. No-Body’s Jigg was quite active in The Netherlands until 2009.

Now, after having gone on in pursuit their own adventures, with great pleasure Conor, Thibault, Ronan, and Tulio reunite after nearly two decades, and for the first time, will be playing together in the USA. Co-sponsored by the Casper College Foundation.

Rockabilly, rock and roll, hot rods, drive-in movies, surf music, early Elvis, and Sun Records—this is the sound, look, and style that defines the Texas-based band The Vinyl Stripes. Deeply inspired by the music and culture of the 1950s and ’60s, the band delivers an authentic vintage experience with high-energy modern appeal.

Adorned with skinny ties, pork pie hats, Gretsch guitars, upright bass, and rockin’ drums, The Vinyl Stripes bring classic American music to life. Their repertoire features rockabilly and early rock and roll favorites made famous by legends such as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent, and The Beatles—along with surf guitar instrumentals that transport audiences straight to the California coast of the 1960s.

The Vinyl Stripes aren’t just about nostalgia. The band also performs original songs that capture the spirit and sound of the era. The core trio—guitar, upright bass, and drums—features all three members singing in tight three-part harmony. For select performances, the band expands to a four-piece lineup with the addition of tenor saxophone, adding extra punch and classic rock-and-roll flair.

From rockabilly and vintage rock and roll to California surf music and instrumental guitar jams, audiences will definitely get real gone to the sounds of The Vinyl Stripes.
