Nearly 900 soldiers encamped in New Hope, then named Coryell’s Ferry, for two weeks prior to George Washington’s legendary crossing of the Delaware River to the decisive Battle of Trenton on December 25, 1776. Two days later the troops returned to Coryell’s Ferry to prepare for their second crossing of the Delaware to wage the Battle of Assunpink Creek
On Sunday, February 19 at 2 pm, the New Hope Historical Society will inaugurate a new walking tour that will trace the footsteps of George Washington and his army through New Hope. Led by Historical Society past-president and current board member, Roy Ziegler, the new tour will offer a colorful picture of New Hope’s role as Coryell’s Ferry in the American Revolutionary War.
Daniel Adam Maltz is a fortepianist based in Vienna, Austria. He specializes in the First Viennese School — Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert.
He made his Carnegie Hall (Weill) debut at age 22 and has 50+ tour dates per year as a sought-after soloist, chamber musician, and clinician.
Daniel studied historical performance at the Royal Academy of Music in London and the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna.
He refined his command of historical practices through private study with Andreas Staier and Ingomar Rainer.
Daniel is devoted to performing on Viennese fortepianos — utilizing the vast range of tones and colors familiar to the composers. He brings his expertise in the Viennese sound, culture, philosophies, and performance practices of the Classical era to his interpretations.
He also enjoys the 18th-century practice of leading orchestras in concerto and symphony performances from the keyboard, acting not as a modern conductor, but as a leader from within the ensemble.
Daniel hosts Classical Cake, the podcast about Viennese classical music and culture.
Before switching to the fortepiano, Daniel studied privately with internationally-renowned pianists John O’Conor, Gil Sullivan, and Robert Lehrbaumer.
Daniel is a dual citizen of the USA and Israel. He comes from a musical family — his mother is a cellist and his father, a composer, taught him piano and composition starting at age four.
Concert description:
Enjoy Haydn and Mozart’s piano works performed as they intended them to be heard — on a historic Viennese fortepiano in an intimate setting.
During the Classical era in Vienna, composers expected their keyboard music to entertain relatively small audiences in smaller-scale spaces than today’s large concert halls. And, the era’s pianos (known as “fortepianos”) are very different from modern Steinways.
This authentic Fortepiano Recital is a rare historical concert given by world-renowned composer, Daniel Adam Maltz. A once in a lifetime experience, please join us!

Benjamin Parry is known as the “Father of New Hope”. When he named his flour mill, New Hope Flour Mill, the name, New Hope, later replaced the town’s former name, Coryell’s Ferry in 1837. Parry was a community leader in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries, spurring commerce and industry in New Hope for nearly half a century.
Since its founding in 1958, the New Hope Historical Society has made a significant progress preserving historical and cultural aspects of New Hope.
Efforts that began with the Parry Barn and the Parry Mansion Museum continue to go forward. The furnishings of the 8 rooms reflect 125 (1775-1900) years of decorative changes experienced by the Parry family. Each room represents a different time period during which the Parry’s occupied the mansion. It was the inspiration of Charles Lamar, noted decorative historian and Interior designer.
Since 1966, the New Hope Historical Society has maintained this splendid mansion house museum, the centerpiece of New Hope as a tribute to the American experience.
