THE COMPOSERS FROM CURTIS CHAMBER ENSEMBLE, 1998<br />
In 1998 Curtis students Daniel Kellogg (Composition ’99), David Ludwig (Composition ’01), and Mimi Stillman (Flute ’99) founded<br />
the Composers from Curtis Chamber Ensemble to present a concert of works by Curtis-connected composers. The student-run<br />
group, advised by faculty member Jennifer Higdon (Composition ’88), allowed participants—also including Jeremy Kurtz (Double<br />
Bass ’99), Margo Tatgenhorst Drakos (Cello ’99), Nathan Cole (Violin ’00), and Anthony McGill (Clarinet ’00)—to experience the<br />
complete life cycle of musical creation, from writing original music to assembling and managing an ensemble to final performance.<br />
Recalls David Ludwig, who now directs the Curtis 20/21 Ensemble, “These projects we start as students can end up informing the<br />
rest of our lives.” Learn about the composers-in-residence program at Curtis beginning on page 22. PHOTO: CURTIS ARCHIVES/RONNI L. GORDON
