Please join us for a free concert featuring Steinway Artist David Ward at Schmitt Music Denver on Saturday, November 3rd at 7:30PM.

It has been said by some that Dr. David M. Ward’s playing is like that of the “Golden Age” of the piano. That his performances can “make your ears wiggle.” And that to get a true fix on his performance style, one must think of Horowitz, Rubinstein, Paderewski, Gould, and Rachmaninoff. Ward’s Schmitt Music performance will include selections by J.S. Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Liszt and more. Click here to view the evening’s program.

Seating is limited. Please call 303-777-1900 for event details or email us at dnkb@schmittmusic.com to RSVP.

Watch David perform his arrangement of Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”:
