From the Philadelphia Orchestra, percussionist Christopher Deviney, tuba player Carol Jantsch and clarinetist Ricardo Morales have new faculty positions at the Curtis Institute of Music. Morales, who has been a Curtis visiting artist, will be woodwind chamber music coach. Proving the existence of orchestral life beyond Broad and Spruce, Curtis has also hired New York Philharmonic principal cellist Carter Brey (left) and marimba contemporary-music god Robert Van Sice. Stalwart Curtis pianist Meng-Chieh Liu (he has been resident pianist and chamber music coach for 15 years) joins Leon Fleisher, Claude Frank, Gary Graffman, Seymour Lipkin, Robert McDonald, Eleanor Sokoloff and Ignat Solzhenitsyn on the performance faculty.
