Curtis Circles
Join a Dynamic and Passionate Group of Supporters
Mary Louise Curtis Bok, the visionary founder of the Curtis Institute of Music, believed in the transformative potential of every individual to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond. She held the belief that a world-class musical education would give Curtis musicians the artistic foundation to create and share a profound love and gratitude for music. Through her generous support, she helped position Curtis musicians at the heart of a continually expanding circle of musical appreciation and accomplishment—reaching across Philadelphia and around the globe.
We invite you to help continue the vision of Mary Louise Curtis Bok by joining Curtis Circles, a new program designed to support the school’s mission and programs. Your generous contribution to Curtis Circles will directly impact and uplift Curtis’s students and will ensure that they receive the highest level of education and artistic development.
