ENJOY CURTIS ON TOUR IN NANTUCKET & FALMOUTH VIRTUALLY
For over ten years, Curtis on Tour has been proud to present a series of special performances and talks to audiences in Nantucket and New England, and is pleased to continue this exciting festival online in July 2020!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Curtis on Tour has cancelled its annual chamber music festival in Nantucket and subsequent New England tour. In place of the live, in-person performances, we are thrilled to present a concert broadcast featuring esteemed Curtis alumni. Join touring artists for a concert broadcast on July 12 at 5:30 p.m. The concert will be broadcast on YouTube and Facebook Live on July 12 at 5:30 p.m. EDT and will be available for on-demand viewing until August 11.
The program includes a varied mix of solo and chamber works alongside brief introductions by the festival’s artistic director, David Serkin Ludwig. As a special treat, the program concludes with the world premiere of an arrangement of Bach’s “Erbarme dich, mein Gott” from Saint Matthew Passion.
Admission to all virtual events is free.
We hope you enjoy these concerts performed by the extraordinary young musicians from the Curtis Institute of Music!
