Bok Tower Gardens presents “The Life and Times of Mary Louise Curtis Bok” on Saturday, March 8, 2025 from 2 -3 p.m.
To celebrate Women’s History Month, Barbara Benedett, the Senior Archivist at the Curtis Institute of Music will delve into the fascinating life of Mary Louise Curtis (1876-1970), wife of Edward Bok.
Mary was inspired to a life of philanthropy and a champion of education and culture. Through a friend, she found her calling in support of the Settlement Music School in Philadelphia which led to her realizing her dream of building a world-class music conservatory in the United States, the Curtis Institute of Music, now 100 years old.
Tickets are $10 for members and $30 for non-members. For more information to purchase tickets, please visit www.boktowergardens.org.
