More information on Curtis Institute of Music
The most famous touring concert pianist in the world, 22-year-old Lang Lang, trained at the Curtis, one of the country's finest music schools, housed in a rambling historic limestone mansion with its own theater. Eighteen percent of the principal chairs in America's leading orchestras -- and musical directorships of three major orchestras -- are held by alumni. Nearly half of the players in the Philadelphia Orchestra are alumni, too. Curtis itself has a small hall just off Rittenhouse Square that's excellent for chamber works (visit www.curtis.edu for a schedule of the concerts, operas, and recitals). Free student recitals are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings at 8pm from October through May. Both the Curtis Opera Theater and the Curtis Symphony Orchestra present full-scale productions at the school, the Prince Music Theater, and the Kimmel Center. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
