Baking with the Classics is a concert experience that brings together classical piano, storytelling, and original dessert creations inspired by the music.

Founded by pianist Jacob De Hoyos, Baking with the Classics invites audiences to experience classical music through sound, sight, and taste. Each program centers on piano repertoire, examining the musical ideas, cultural influences, places, and traditions that shaped the works and their composers. Performance and storytelling provide a deeper understanding of the repertoire while creating an engaging and accessible concert experience.

Alongside the music, each program explores the history and traditions of a selected dessert, from its cultural origins and evolution to the ingredients and techniques that define it. Original dessert designs draw from this history while considering elements of the musical program through flavor, texture, structure, and presentation. Baking with the Classics brings these disciplines together with the same attention to craft, context, and artistic detail.
