Visit the Curtis Institute of Music—from a distance.

Below, you’ll find information on the main buildings comprising the Curtis Institute of Music campus, located on Locust Street in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood of Philadelphia. In addition to the locations outlined below, Curtis also utilizes other buildings on Locust Street for administrative offices and more.

Curtis students are also afforded ample opportunity by the school’s central location in the city. The Philadelphia Orchestra, one of the world’s premier orchestras, is located within several blocks of Curtis’s campus. Not only do we encourage students to attend Philadelphia Orchestra performances whenever possible, but Curtis draws many of its faculty from the Orchestra as well. Opera Philadelphia is also within walking distance of Curtis’s campus and offers extensive opportunities to experience one of the world’s finest operas.
