ABOUT THE CURTIS STUDENT RECITAL SERIES
 Recitals are an integral part of every Curtis student's education. In keeping with Curtis's mission, it is essential that all students have the opportunity to perform, and perform often, in public. Come hear free solo and chamber music: more than one hundred recitals annually.

October 12-May 14
Most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8 p.m., with additional recitals in the spring.

Field Concert Hall, 1726 Locust Street, Philadelphia
Recitals are open to the public free of charge; seating is on a first-come-first-served basis.

Students perform both as soloists and as members of chamber music ensembles. A special feature of the Student Recital Series is the graduation recital, which all piano, violin, viola, cello, timpani and percussion, and composition students are required to give; many other students do, as well.

Highlights from the student recitals are featured occasionally on radio stations WHYY-FM in Philadelphia and WITF-FM in Harrisburg, and on Y Arts, the digital cable service of Philadelphia public television station WHYY (Y Arts Schedule).

For a complete listing of the week's performances, call 215-893-5261 or view This Week at Curtis. To receive This Week at Curtis by e-mail, join our mailing list.
