Curtis Institute of Music - tuition-free conservatory with public concerts

The Curtis Institute of Music is a highly selective conservatory founded in 1924 that offers full-tuition scholarships to all admitted students. Curtis students and faculty give frequent public recitals and concerts in small recital halls and the Institute's performance spaces, which are attended regularly by Philadelphia residents. The school's outreach and low-cost ticketing policies make many performances accessible to local audiences and music students in the region.
