“Phyllis’s extraordinary artistry and deeply effective role as a master teacher at Tanglewood, all informed by her dynamic presence, dignity, and elegance as a human being, gives Curtin, a place of honor in Tanglewood’s pantheon of great major musical figures who have had an undeniable impact on the festival and its school."
-- Mark Volpe, Boston Symphony Orchestra Managing Director
“I never heard her play a single note that was not filled with care, meaning and communicative power. She always had something urgent, beautiful and deeply personal to say through her music.”
-- Evan Rothstein, Deputy Head of Strings at the Guildhall School of Music in London
