Curtis on Tour: The Nina von Maltzahn Global Touring Initiative of the Curtis Institute of Music

Together with the Curtis Institute of Music, Bard College Berlin is pleased to host Curtis on Tour on October 5, 2023.

The group is comprised of six celebrated artists – Maria Ioudenitch (violin), Emma Meinrenken (violin), Haesue Lee (viola), Grace Takeda (viola), Jean Kim (cello), and Joshua Halpern (cello) – all distinguished alumni of the renowned Curtis Institute of Music.

Curtis on Tour is the Nina von Maltzahn global touring initiative of the Curtis Institute of Music. Grounded in the school’s “learn by doing” philosophy, tours feature extraordinary emerging artists alongside celebrated alumni and faculty. In addition to performances, musicians offer master classes, educational programs, and community engagement activities while on tour. Curtis on Tour also manages solo engagements for Curtis artists with professional orchestras and presenters. Since the program was established in 2008, Curtis on Tour ensembles have performed more than 375 concerts in over 100 cities in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. In Berlin, Curtis on Tour partners with Bard College Berlin to make this unique approach to learning and artistic performance accessible to the public.
