Thanks. It was my understanding too that Curtis is strictly an undergrad
institution. I've heard people speak suspiciously of graduate activities
there, and it slowly wore away my belief that a graduate degree is not
offered there. And to think a sophomore clarinet player-- what, 21 years
old? -- made it to the final round of a major orchesttra audition. Just
incredible. Another Ricardo in our midst? I hear about these things
much more often in the flute world. It's still seldom enough to shock
me when it happens in our own ranks.
