Giving to Curtis

You can play an important part in supporting the artistic and educational programs at The Curtis Institute of Music. Your gift to the Curtis Annual Fund or endowment will help to keep Curtis at the pinnacle of music education.

Curtis's unique all-scholarship policy ensures that talent is the only basis for admission to this most selective of music schools. But the policy places extraordinary pressure on the school to increase gifts from our individual, foundation, and corporate friends, which are essential to cover the gap between endowment revenues and operating expenses.

In proportion to its size, Curtis has trained more notable musicians in its eighty-two-year history than any other U.S. music school. Support the 162 exceptionally talented young musicians training at the Institute today, and join us in training the great classical soloists and ensemble players of tomorrow.
