TICKETS
Classical music isn’t meant to live only on the page—it’s meant to be felt, experienced, and brought to life. Keys to the Classics is Opus Nova’s new interactive series that invites you inside the music in a way few concerts can.
Led by the brilliant and engaging pianist Daniel Anastasio, each event blends live performance with vivid storytelling, revealing the hidden layers, emotions, and creative genius behind the works you love (and the ones you’ll soon fall in love with).
Our very first Keys to the Classics concert launches with Daniel Anastasio, taking you on a musical journey from the Baroque Era to today, uncovering the key elements that make certain works timeless masterpieces. Gain a deeper appreciation for classical repertoire, with works by Bach, Couperin, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Debussy, Ginastera, and many more.
The concert takes place at the Steinway Piano Gallery, Fort Worth. Doors open for a pre-concert reception at 6:45 PM, featuring complimentary prosecco and macarons. The performance begins at 7:30 PM and unfolds without intermission, offering an uninterrupted, immersive listening experience. Tickets are $45 per person.
Whether you’re a seasoned concertgoer or just beginning your classical music adventure, Keys to the Classics offers something rare: the chance to experience a work from the inside out—to not only hear the music, but truly know it.

Come curious. Leave inspired.

About the Artist
Praised by the New York Times for his “crisp performance” of a “devilish showpiece” by Ukrainian composer Borys Liatoshynsky, Daniel Anastasio is a soloist and chamber musician based in San Antonio, Texas who combines an intellectual curiosity with “technical prowess and emotional sensitivity” (San Antonio Report). As Artistic Director of several organizations including Agarita and the San Antonio Chamber Music Society, his innovative programs have included collaborations with dancers, writers, museums, photographers, glass-blowers, and more. As a performer with a diverse skillset, he has performed Bach’s Goldberg Variations on harpsichord one week, and premiered a multimedia work by Rome Prize-winning contemporary composer Christopher Stark on MIDI keyboard the next. An active proponent of new music, he is the co-founder and pianist of Unheard-of Ensemble, a group that creates engaging interdisciplinary works in direct collaboration with emerging artists and composers across the United States, and tours actively. An Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Keyboard Studies at San Antonio College, Anastasio received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and Philosophy from Cornell University under Xak Bjerken, a Master of Music degree from Juilliard under Jerome Lowenthal, and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Stony Brook University, where he studied with Gilbert Kalish and Christina Dahl.
