If you've never heard of this school, don't worry about it. I never did before November.
Dave saw a piece about it on Philly.com and learned that the school is 40% international. Curtis is the top music school in the world. If you get, IF you get in, you go there for free. The average age of a Curtis student is 14-16 years old. Most don't graduate high school; they are that good!
Dave contacted a family where all three siblings got into Curtis. They all play the piano. They are a Christian, Chinese family and the kids were born in America. They were thrilled to meet with Dave in order to gain his help with reaching out to their classmates.

Neither Dave nor myself have ever been exposed to live classical music. It was phenomenal!!! I loved it!
You know the best part; IT'S FREE!!!!!
Take a night out with your spouse or a good friend, and sit to hear up and coming professionals play extraordinary music. The theater is just off of Rittenhouse square at 17th & Locust. Believe me, it's worth putting on your bucket list!
