	Curtis Institute of Music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Curtis Institute of Music is a music school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that offers courses of study leading to a performance Diploma, Bachelor of Music, Master of Music in Opera, and Professional Studies Certificate in Opera.
		It was originally established in 1924 by Mary Louise Curtis Bok, to some extent as a training ground for orchestral players to fill the ranks of the Philadelphia Orchestra, much like the Vienna Hochschule fur Musik and the Vienna Philharmonic, although pianists, singers, organists and composers were offered courses of study as well.
		All pupils attend on full scholarship, but admission is extremely competitive, as Curtis has the lowest acceptance rate of any college or university in the world.
