Pianist Adi Neuhaus is a rising star on the international classical music stage. A descendant of the illustrious Neuhaus family of pianists and pedagogues—Heinrich and Stanislav Neuhaus—he began his musical journey at the age of five. His formative training took place at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance and continued at the Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris, the Berlin University of the Arts (UDK), and under prominent guidance at the Ingesund Piano Center. An award-winner at competitions in Viseu, Imola, Ashdod, and Moscow, he has benefited from masterclasses with legendary artists including Murray Perahia, Yefim Bronfman, and András Schiff. Adi has performed as both soloist and chamber musician across Europe, Asia, and the United States, appearing at prestigious venues such as the Louvre Auditorium in Paris, the Philharmonic Hall in St. Petersburg, and more recently, Carnegie Hall in New York. His repertoire, highlighted on his debut recording released by Calliope-Indésens Records, demonstrates a deep commitment to artistry, interpretation, and the storied traditions of the piano.

The Van Alen Mansion on Manhattan’s Upper East Side is a distinguished Gilded Age townhouse renowned for its elegant Beaux-Arts design and intricate architectural details. Originally built for the prominent Van Alen family, it exemplifies the opulent style, craftsmanship, and social prestige associated with early 20th-century New York’s elite residential enclaves.

Daniel Zinn is a conductor and impresario based in Brooklyn, known for creating intimate, engaging concert experiences. With his Fort Greene Orchestra, Zinn blends classical music with striking visuals and relaxed, conversational formats, drawing remarkably young audiences. A violinist from Jerusalem, he studied under Maestro Aaron Rosand in New York. Now, through events like Chopin and Champagne, Zinn redefines the classical concert by presenting world-class music in ways that brings the audience closer to the art and its history.

Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) was a Polish composer and pianist, widely regarded as one of the greatest composers for piano. Known for his delicate touch and poetic expressiveness, Chopin’s works range from intimate nocturnes and waltzes to powerful polonaises and ballades. His music blends classical form with the folk melodies and dances of his homeland, creating a deeply personal and emotive style. Though he spent much of his life in Paris, Chopin’s heart remained tied to Poland, and his music continues to captivate audiences with its lyrical beauty and technical brilliance.

Moët & Chandon Brut has a rich history dating back to 1743, symbolizing luxury and celebration throughout the centuries. The same era that saw the rise of Romantic composers like Frédéric Chopin also witnessed champagne’s growing popularity among Europe’s elite, including in Paris, where Chopin spent much of his life. Just as Chopin’s music evokes elegance, depth, and emotion, Moët Brut represents a refined taste that has been enjoyed during life’s most special moments. Pairing this historic champagne with Chopin’s iconic works connects two legacies of European artistry and sophistication, enhancing the cultural and sensory experience of the concert.
