On Tour With the Curtis Symphony Orchestra

The Curtis Symphony Orchestra recently completed a historic tour of the United States east coast—their first U.S. tour! Osmo Vänskä led the orchestra in a program featuring works by Beethoven, Sibelius, and Curtis alumna Gabriella Smith. Alumnus and piano faculty Jonathan Biss was the soloist, performing Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto. The tour began with performances at Immaculata University and here in Philadelphia, and then traveled the east coast, ending with a February 8 finale at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage.
