Fabrice Curtis

Fabrice Curtis joined the Kansas City Symphony as music librarian in July 2012. A native of Kentucky, he received his bachelor’s degree in music education from the University of Kentucky and his master’s degree in music theory from Florida State University. Prior to joining the Kansas City Symphony, he completed coursework and exams for his doctorate in music theory at Florida State University and is currently working on a dissertation examining the fugal compositions of Shostakovich. During his graduate studies, Curtis taught undergraduate courses in written theory and sight-singing. He has remained active as a clarinetist, and he performs whenever time allows. His interest in music librarianship began after working with the librarian of the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra and realizing how much he enjoys preparing music for performance.
