Annual Casimir / Curtis Hall Concert Programs

Tabuteau always presented his students in concert during the second half of the school year, mostly in April or May. This allowed him time to prepare the ensembles he coached to approach the high standard he set. The programs are listed chronologically. Immediately following are printed summaries of Curtis’s concert dates for each school year showing where Tabuteau’s yearly programs fit into the school’s concert schedule.

No concerts directed by Marcel Tabuteau were presented during the 1933-34 school year.

During the 1938-1939 school year, Tabuteau presented his Woodwind Ensemble offsite in a radio broadcast on March 27, 1939 (see Radio Broadcast Programs).

Due to financial instability, woodwinds, brass and percussion were not taught at Curtis during the 1942-1943 school year. For the 1943-44 and 1944-45 school years, Tabuteau conducted a series of radio broadcasts (see Radio Broadcast Programs).

These programs were provided courtesy of the Curtis Institute of Music.
