<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>This thread is not really about a musical or application question. I just wanted to comment on how impressed I am with the talent at Curtis. This past half-season, I’ve had the opportunity to sing with the Master Chorale of South Florida, and our big holiday work is The Messiah. Directed by James Judd, former director of the Florida Philharmonic, we get to sing with four soloists that are students at Curtis. They are Sarah Shafer, soprano; J’nai Bridges, mezzo-soprano; Joshua Stewart, tenor; and Thomas Shivone, bass-baritone. They have some sound clips online available through google searching but hearing them live is just awe-inspiring: so young and so talented. </p>

<p>I have to say, singing with them makes me wish my parents would allow me to apply to Curtis!</p>

<p>Curtis is tuition-free - why in the world won’t your parents let you apply?</p>

<p>Because of its conservatory-only status =[</p>

<p>You do get to take classes taught by UPenn professors - so the quality of education you’ll receive at Curtis is top-notch all around. My son wanted to apply to Curtis this year but unfortunately there were not any openings for his instrument.</p>
