Welcome to the digital repository of the Curtis Institute of Music

With esteemed graduates such as Samuel Barber (’34), George Walker (’45), and Anna Moffo (’54) the power of Curtis’s legacy far surpasses its size. The Curtis campus reflects the rich heritage of the institution and the many musicians who have been trained here. By utilizing material from the Curtis Archives and Special Collections, our mission is to preserve Curtis’s past and engage future generations of musicians.
