Family Album: The Story of Our Lives with Bobby Abrahamson

In this fun and motivating multi-session photographic workshop we will explore doing personal documentary work, photographing your life, home, relationships and daily activities with sense of its meaning/significance. (The seemingly mundane and ordinary activities of our life are imbued with meaning and significance when photographed with heartfelt observation.) You will work toward producing a hand-finished photographic book or “family album” from your project.
Participants will meet as a group for three separate day-long Saturday sessions. In addition, they will have the chance to meet one-on-one with Bobby for more personalized instruction on the Sundays following the Saturday group sessions.
There also will be remote sessions via Zoom in between the meetings in Spray and students will be able to share work and get individualized feedback via email with Bobby.

Music Series: Daniel Adam Maltz, forte pianist
2026-06-12 18:00 - 20:00
Daniel Adam Maltz is a fortepianist based in Vienna, Austria.
He specializes in Wiener Klassik (Viennese Classicism) — especially the works of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven — performed on the Viennese fortepianos of their time.
Called “master of the Viennese fortepiano,” Daniel’s performances are praised for their “extraordinary precision and lightness” (The Common Reader). Critics applaud his “very sensitive phrasing” and “marvelous dynamic contrasts” (Marblehead Current) featuring “broad warmth” and “lavish but tasteful” playing (Classical Sonoma).
He debuted at Carnegie Hall (Weill) at age 22 and is a sought-after soloist, Lieder accompanist, and clinician. 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. Daniel studied fortepiano performance at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna and the Royal Academy of Music in London. He refined his command of historical practices through private study with Andreas Staier and Ingomar Rainer.
