A curator, the dictionary tells us, is both a keeper or custodian of a museum or other collection, or a person who selects acts to perform at a music festival. Even though, in PPI’s case, the obvious role of our curator is to help shape the arc of our artistic vision and mission, we have the extreme fortune to have found in each of our curators also the quality of being the keepers of knowledge.

This page, where we share the sagacity and lived experiences of our curator, is intended to be our living museum of insights, perspectives and shared humanity.

These excerpts below from our March 2025 interview with Boris Giltburg are not meant as instructional videos or pithy statements about singular topics. Rather, they reflect his ethos, his spirit and his approach to playing, teaching and living life as a deeply committed, deeply passionate and wildly talented pianist!
