We were at Nahre Sol's piano recital at the Victoria Concert Hall yesterday. Beautiful touch, tone and expression throughout the entire recital. And we were moved by her sense of humility, sensitivity and self-reflectivity.

Thank you 감사합니다, Nahre!

We were at Pablo Ferrández and Zee Zee's recital at the Victoria Concert Hall last night (18 March 2025, Tuesday). The programme comprised familiar and favourite repertoire, including Beethoven's third cello sonata in A major and Brahms' first cello sonata in E minor.

Their positive synergy and stage presence are felt throughout the entire concert. It was a convivial experience tantalising both the sight and aural senses for the concertgoers.

¡Muchas gracias, Pablo y Zee Zee!

On 11 March 2025 (Tuesday), Curtis Music School attended Kian Soltani and Amsterdam Sinfonietta's concert, under the direction of Candida Thompson. We enjoyed the programme, Amsterdam Sinfonietta's wonderfully warm and pure tone, and Soltani's exuberant interpretation of the Haydn C cello concerto very much. His cadenzas, deploying the use of multiple double-stops on the two lower strings, are spectacular and refreshing as well.

Hartelijk dank, Kian, Candida en Amsterdam Sinfonietta!

We're elated to share a few photos of our two young cellists who participated in the eighth Asia Suzuki Music Conference in South Korea between 6 and 10 January 2025.

A huge thank you to our two students and their wonderful parents for co-creating this memorable experience!
