“Any recital will tell you something about the performer who presents it, but what set Jennifer Curtis apart from the typical recitalist on Saturday evening was just how much she wanted to say about herself and the number of facets she revealed in doing so.” - The New York Times

 

“Violinist Jennifer Curtis arrived at her Philadelphia recital debut - intriguingly - with the world-weariness of the young and the committed, as if she'd been out all day protesting something important.” - The Philadelphia Inquirer

 

“She was eyeball-to-eyeball with Brahms' Violin Sonata No. 1 (Op. 78) in a startlingly authoritative performance that took you deep inside the piece.
