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, it offers students real-world, professional touring experience alongside celebrated alumni and faculty. In addition to performing, musicians offer master classes, interactive programs and community engagement activities while on tour.

The Curtis on Tour Brass Quintet is composed of Curtis graduates who are seasoned professionals well established in the chamber music and symphonic concert world. They will perform a program of works in a variety of modes composed over 500 years, from the 1500s works of Tylman Susato to George Gershwin to J.S. Bach to Joan Tower to William Grant Still to Malcolm Arnold.

Curtis on Tour also facilitates solo performances of Curtis students and alumni with professional orchestras and recital series. Since the program was established in 2008, students, faculty and alumni have performed more than 375 concerts in over 100 cities in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
