ABOUT THE CURTIS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
The Curtis Symphony Orchestra has been called "an orchestra that any city would be lucky to have as its professional ensemble" (Philadelphia Inquirer) and has been praised for its "otherworldly ensemble and professional level of sophistication" (New York Times). Composed of more than 100 young musicians, the orchestra performs a three-concert season in Verizon Hall at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts as well as annual concerts in Carnegie Hall in New York, under such visiting conductors as Christoph Eschenbach, Alan Gilbert, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, Wolfgang Sawallisch, and Robert Spano. This real-world training has enabled Curtis alumni to assume prominent positions in major orchestras across the United States, Canada, and abroad. The Curtis Symphony Orchestra is under the direction of Otto-Werner Mueller and David Hayes.
