Curtis Symphony Orchestra

Halloween has concluded and the holiday season is right on its tail. This week is packed, featuring Yannick leading the Curtis Symphony Orchestra in Mahler, two PCMS features, the recently revived London City Ballet, and more.

This week's edition of Fanfare features a diverse range of performances: The Philadelphia Orchestra holds its Children's Halloween Spectacular, Teddy Abrams leads the Curtis Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Ballet delivers and America-inspired program, and much more.

Fanfare covers a two-week period, with choice offerings from PCMS, the Curtis Symphony Orchestra, Vox Ama Deus and more.

A set of performances from Piffaro highlighting the rather unique instruments of the Renaissance era, a special visit from classical comedy duo TwoSet Violin and a choral commemoration of the Declaration of Independence's signing — all this and more in this week's Fanfare.

From intimate Baroque opera to grand, symphonic Bruckner, the new season is stacked for classical music in the Philadelphia area. We've curated more than a dozen highlights in our 2025 Classical Fall Preview.

It's another great week of shows — we've got another tour continuation, a work night on the town, and as I like to offer you, something to stretch your ideas of what classical music can be.

This week's Fanfare features a plethora of performances, from Opera Delaware's production of La bohème, to the Curtis Symphony Orchestra featuring Time for Three, to The Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by former music director Riccardo Muti, and more.

This week in Fanfare: the Curtis Symphony Orchestra plays two world premieres, and Yannick leads his other hometown ensemble.
