Your generosity this holiday season will allow us to foster the next generation of artist-citizens and increase their impact on the world. Your gift will go to work right away to support our extraordinary young musicians and retain our world-class faculty. Without your participation, Curtis would simply not be where it is today!

A unique full-tuition scholarship policy keeps Curtis at the forefront of the world’s conservatories by ensuring that admissions are based on artistic promise alone. With no tuition revenue, Curtis is indebted to countless donors who have followed in the footsteps of founder Mary Louise Curtis Bok. Your contribution of any amount can make an impact on the health and vibrancy of the world’s leading conservatory and the musical lives of its students.
