Curtis's Acclaimed Recital Series Spotlighted in The Inquirer

The highly-anticipated spring 2023 calendar of upcoming performances for the Curtis Recital Series has recently been announced and featured in The Philadelphia Inquirer. Since Curtis was founded in 1924, some of the classical music world’s most revered musicians have performed on the stage of Field Concert Hall and this acclaimed series continues the school’s celebrated legacy as a platform for exceptionally talented young musicians to perform and hone their craft in front of live audiences.

“The really great thing about our recitals is that you can come to almost every recital and hear such a range of different instruments, instrument groupings, repertoire—it’s kind of a surprise every time.”   

Patricia K. Johnson, vice president of communications and public affairs at Curtis.

Solo and chamber works are performed Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings in Field Concert Hall, and occasionally on the weekends. The recitals will come to the suburbs for two performances: a February 11 recital at All Hallows Episcopal Church in Wyncote and a Feb. 26 performance at Main Line Reform Temple in Wynnewood.

World-renowned faculty and guest artists also join Curtis students side-by-side for special residency recitals throughout the season, tying into the school’s unique philosophy of “learn by doing” Highlights are featured year-round on WHYY-TV’s On Stage at Curtis and WWFM Radio’s Curtis Calls.
