Curtis on Tour
Nina von Maltzahn Global Initiative del Curtis Institute of Music
Since becoming Curtis’s first quartet in residence in 2013, the phenomenal Dover Quartet has catapulted to international stardom following a stunning sweep of the 2013 Ban Competition, where this group of four Curtis alumni won every prize. Winner of the Cleveland Quartet Award and the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant, the quartet’s rise has been “practically meteoric” (Strings), and it is now one of the world’s most in-demand ensembles. The Dover String Quartet is proud to make its maiden voyage to Latin America under the banner of Curtis on Tour and as a resident quartet of the Curtis Institute of Music.
From October 24th to 30th the Curtis Institute of Music will be conducting its online tour in Latin America with the Curtis on Tour which is Nina von Maltzahn Global Initiative. The presentations will take place at: Mexico, Costra Rica, Peru and Chile.
