Just Posted on Curtis Performs

Hear chamber music by recent composition graduate Thomas Oltarzewski on Curtis Performs: Weather Music was inspired by the arrival of Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast in October 2012. And mark your calendar for March 31, when this year’s student composers will showcase their orchestral works on the Student Recital Series.
