2019 Year In Review

As 2019 draws to a close, we at Curtis are feeling grateful—for a wonderful year of music-making and learning, and for the support of our audiences and donors, who are so important to the education of our exceptionally gifted students. This extraordinary year has brought successful tours, prestigious awards for students and alumni, and innovative ways to reach audiences around the globe and in our own community.

2019 saw sparkling performances by the Curtis Symphony Orchestra and Curtis Opera Theatre; 100 free student recitals; and a record-breaking schedule of performances on tour!

Outside the concert hall, a wide range of Curtis alumni, students, and faculty achieved recognition in 2019, winning competitions and receiving awards and grants. This album represents only a small percentage of these achievements: find more through Curtis in the News.

Curtis also continued our work in the community, partnering with organizations that seek to protect and elevate classical music as an art form that is accessible to everyone. Review the year with us in photos below, with our thanks!
