The Curtis Institute of Music’s iconic Student Recital Series returns to the stage for a vibrant season of performances. Curtis hosts a variety of chamber, ensemble and graduation recitals this spring. Admission requires advance reservation and is complimentary.

Join us for an evening of guitar, violin, and viola. Xinxing Yao opens the program on guitar with Spinoff. The program continues with two viola works, the Clarke Sonata and the ever popular “La Campanella” from Paganini’s Concerto No. 2 in B minor. Emma Carina Meinrenken closes the program strong with Nielsen’s violin concerto.
