The 2024 Curtis Summer Organ Intensive took place June 10–19 with six students from Hong Kong, UK, and the United States. Alan Morrison and Peter Richard Conte taught daily lessons on repertoire and transcriptions at the Curtis Institute of Music and at Macy’s on the Wanamaker organ. 

The participants also studied improvisation with Matthew Glandorf, conducting with Jonathan Coopersmith, and harpsichord with Leon Schelhase. Guest artist Caroline Robinson led a masterclass for the students. 

Local organs visited included the Dobson Pipe Organ Builders organ at the Kimmel Center in Marian Anderson Hall, the M. P. Möller organ at Tindley Temple United Methodist Church, the C. B. Fisk, Inc., organ at Christ Church in Old City, and the Aeolian-Skinner organ at St. Mark’s Church, Locust Street.
