The Curtis Institute of Music presents a student recital performed on the Spirio player piano. Admission requires advance registration and is complimentary.

The Steinway Spirio is the world’s first high definition recording piano that captures every nuance of touch, pedaling, and artistry for a playback experience that is indistinguishable from the original performance.

SpirioCast is the first ever software of its kind, built seamlessly into the Spirio app to transmit high resolution music data perfectly in sync with video and audio from one Spirio to one or many Spirios.

Today’s SpirioCast is the first of its kind from any conservatory. This performance will be enjoyed in North America, Europe, and Africa. The Curtis Institute of Music is the only conservatory with a dedicated library of performances by Curtis students, faculty, and alumni and is available on every Spirio worldwide.

Please note: Performance programs are subject to last-minute changes and cancellations.
