STUDENT
RECITAL REQUESTS
Requests for performance dates in the Student Recital Series are
submitted via the "Performances,
Coachings & Recordings" section within the Curtis website. With the exception of graduation recital
programs, students may only request recital dates up to two months
in advance. Graduating students who are required to give a graduation
recital may request any available date in the recital schedule.
Please keep in mind that all requests are subject to change and
final approval by the managing director of artistic initiatives.
All requests must include the following information:
1) your full name, telephone number, e-mail address, and instrument
2) composer's full name and the full title of the work to be performed, along with all movement headings where necessary
3) desired date and time of performance (Note: With the exception of graduating
students, requests for dates more than two months in advance will not
be accepted.)
4) name(s) of all assisting performers, such as accompanists or ensemble
players, and their instruments
5) name of teacher or coach to be contacted for approval of this request
The performance activities office will directly contact the indicated
teacher for final approval of the request. Please note chamber group performance
requests must be approved and submitted by the respective coach.
For performances in Field Concert Hall, you may play solo
repertoire only on the instrument for which you have enrolled.
Students wishing to perform with guests (anyone not currently studying at Curtis, including faculty and alumni) must submit to the dean a waiver form signed by the artist in question, allowing the recording and possible broadcast of the performance. Requests that do not include this waiver may not be approved.
Vocalists, please note: If you wish to have texts
or translations printed in a student recital program, you must take
them to the Communications Office at least ten days before the performance.

RELEASE
REQUESTS
A release request is an official request to
be away from Curtis during the semester. Blank release requests are available
from the registrar.
You must submit a completed release request -- signed by your major teacher
and any other pertinent faculty members--for any of the following reasons:
1) You anticipate being absent from Curtis for
any reason during the term.
2) You are participating in any public performance
not sponsored by the school (this includes performance jobs arranged
by Curtis) between September 3 and commencement, May 15.
3) You plan to apply for a position or teach,
either privately or in connection with other institutions.
Because school and class schedules often must be altered on very short
notice, Curtis needs to know in advance when you plan to be away and
why. You must submit a release request even when
you foresee no apparent conflict with school activities, classes,
or lessons. In order to take makeup tests or quizzes, you must have
been released from the class you originally missed.
Since release requests require the signature of your major teacher(s) and the teacher(s) of whatever class(es) you might miss, you should begin
circulating them early. Return your completed release requests to the
registrar at least ten days prior to your absence/performance but not more
than sixty days in advance. The registrar will then present the requests
to the dean for approval.
If your release request is approved, the registrar keeps it on file; if
approval is denied, the registrar returns the form to you. Curtis reserves
the right to deny approval if such action is warranted. Academic difficulties
are a sufficient reason for faculty members to refuse to sign your release
requests. If you have not processed a release request and a lesson
is posted that you cannot make because of an outside commitment, that lesson
cannot be rescheduled.
Career-oriented activities such as major solo performances and auditions
will receive priority when release requests are submitted for consideration.

INCLEMENT WEATHER HOTLINE
Curtis has an inclement weather hotline. In case of inclement weather, please call 215-717-3173 to hear a recorded message with updated information about activities at Curtis. A new message will be recorded by 7 a.m. on days when there is inclement weather that will affect activities, and the message will be updated throughout the day as necessary.
Generally speaking unless the City of Philadelphia declares a state of emergency, Curtis will remain open and functioning. However some classes or events may be canceled. If you reside in an area where your safe travel to Curtis may be affected by a weather incident, please contact your teacher or immediate supervisor.
