The music department is proud to announce an outstanding showing at the recent Illinois High School Association (IHSA) Solo & Ensemble contest. After months of dedicated practice, students performed before expert judges and brought home a stellar collection of Division I, II, and III ratings.

A Division I (Superior) rating is the highest possible honor at the contest, and our students delivered. Adding to the department's widespread success, several students earned Division II (Excellent) and Division III (Good) ratings, reflecting highly accomplished and well-prepared performances. 

The department would also like to extend a special thank you to our talented accompanists—Micah Dingler, Soledad Bonal, and Timothy Walker—whose beautiful playing and tireless support set our students up for success.

Congratulations to all of our musicians on a fantastic day of performances!

While Lincoln Park and Curie were duking it out on the hardwood, the real heavyweight fight was happening in the stands. The Curie Metropolitan High School Band went head-to-head with King College Prep in an epic "Battle of the Bands" that nearly blew the roof off the arena!

The scoreboard showed the basketball results, but in the stands, the victory was in the spirit. Huge respect to King for the competition, but you already know—Curie Pride hit different last night!

It wasn't just a game; it was a masterclass in showmanship.

Curie Choir students travelled downtown to see a performance of Cavalleria Rusticana as part of our partnership with the Lyric Opera of Chicago. It was an unforgettable experience!

At the annual JOIN VOICES festival, Curie’s Intermediate/Chamber Chorus shared their music and teamed up with other choruses from CPS to learn a special song of unity, led by prof. Sarah Catt of Elmhurst College. Thanks to our sponsor, IL-ACDA!
