Overtones: Spring 2023

In the latest issue of Overtones magazine, we explore how members of the Curtis community are utilizing state-of-the-art scientific advances to harness the healing powers of music in medicine.

Our Q&A spotlights alumna Jennifer Koh (Violin ’02), newly appointed artistic director of the Kennedy Center’s Fortas Chamber Music Concerts. We delve into a discussion on gender inequity in orchestras, make a case for Curtis Opera Theatre’s recent staging of Ariodante, and highlight what to look for in a manager (and vice versa). We also share news about the Dover Quartet welcoming Julianne Lee (Violin ’05) as its new violist, salute the class of 2023, and more.

Not every visionary manages to realize her dream and establish that dream as a reality for future generations. Not every visionary dedicates herself to clearing a space for young artists to flourish. What a gift to us that Mrs. Bok was that visionary leader.
