Mixon Hall • Campaign for CIM
Barbara and Mal Mixon Pledge
$3 Million to Name CIM Recital Hall
Daniel Milner
Mal and Barbara Mixon
“You might call us (the
CIM Orchestra) the
farm team for The
Cleveland Orchestra…”
said A. Malachi Mixon,
III, CIM Board Chairman. Mr. Mixon was
speaking at a gathering of supporters
before a performance
by the CIM Orchestra at
Severance Hall. As
trustee at CIM since
1992 and Chairman of
the Board since 1997,
Mal Mixon has been
remarkably generous
with his time and
resources, helping the
CIM Board of Trustees
plot a successful course
for the Institute; always
leading by example,
and rising to every
challenge that has
presented itself.
Now, in one of the most significant developments in the
history of the Cleveland Institute of Music, the new Recital
Hall, the centerpiece of the Institute’s facility expansion,
will be named “Mixon Hall,” in honor of Barbara and A.
Malachi Mixon, III. Richard W. Pogue and Barbara S.
Robinson, Co-Chairs of The Campaign for CIM, were
pleased to accept a $3 million pledge from Mal and
Barbara Mixon, one of the largest pledges ever received
by CIM. With this new leadership commitment, Campaign
attainment is now over $33 million, or 83 percent of the
$40 million goal.
In making the gift, Mr. Mixon, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Invacare Corporation, exclaimed,
“Over the past 13 years, I have worked closely with David
Cerone, and I have come to admire his passion for CIM.
It’s infectious! This is a challenging project, and I want to
demonstrate strong leadership to get it completed. This
expansion is not just important to the future of CIM, but
to our region. We want to remain competitive with the
top music conservatories in the country and continue to
attract the most talented students and faculty in the
world to
Cleveland.
Barbara and I
are very pleased
to be able to
make a leadership gift to this
fine cultural
gem. We now
invite the
community to
join us in
making this $40
million project
a reality.”
Additional
$750,000
Awarded to CIM
by State of Ohio
As the Cleveland Institute
of Music breaks ground on
its biggest project in 45
years, the State of Ohio
announced an additional
$750,000 appropriation to
The Campaign for CIM,
bringing the State’s total
Campaign commitment to
$1.5 million. This generous
assistance is “music to the
ears” of Campaign leadership, President David
Cerone, Co-Chairs Dick
Pogue and Barbara
Robinson, and Chairman
of the Board Mal Mixon.
President Cerone stated,
“Through this funding,
Governor Taft and the
General Assembly are
demonstrating their strong
commitment to excellence
in education.” With an
operating budget just
under $17 million, CIM
attracts 47,000 visitors
each year. A study by an
independent firm, Impact
Economics, has determined
that, despite its small size,
CIM has an annual economic impact of more than
$90 million in Ohio.
Not only does CIM bring
extremely talented young
people to our state from
around the world, but it
reaches many districts in
the state of Ohio through
its Distance Learning
program, creating and
delivering programs
throughout the state
that target academic
proficiencies. Last year,
CIM reached 10,000 people
in 19 states in the U.S. and
250 at five sites abroad
through the Distance
Learning program. This
past school year, CIM
provided more than 500
classes for Ohio K-12
students and teachers. CIM
is recognized by Ohio
SchoolNet as the leading
distance education “content provider” in Ohio.
A New
Era at
CIM
Former “Tonight
Show” bandleader Doc
Severinsen visited CIM
on February 17 and 18,
2005 to conduct a
master class, take part
in CIM’s “ice breaking”
ceremonies, and
perform with the CIM
Orchestra in a benefit
concert presented by
the CIM Women’s
Committee and
sponsored by The
Invacare Foundation.
Look for photos of the
festivities throughout
this issue of Notes.

President • Commencement • Around the State
Pierre Boulez to Serve as Commencement Speaker
This year’s Commencement exercises will take
place on Saturday, May 7, 2005, beginning at
10:00 a.m. We are pleased to announce that
Pierre Boulez will accept an honorary doctoral
degree and serve as Commencement speaker.
H. Fair
Thoughts from
the President
Mr. Boulez, who will celebrate his 80th birthday
shortly before visiting CIM, is a noted composer
and conductor who has spent most of his life
helping to make music an essential part of the
contemporary world. He began an association
with The Cleveland Orchestra in 1965, serving as
Principal Guest Conductor and Musical Advisor
from 1970 until 1972. He has returned to take
up the baton often in the
years since.
“Sometimes the fool
who rushes in, gets
the job done.”
Everyone involved with CIM’s expansion project knows that this has been
a long and involved process. We have
made careful choices, engaged in
thoughtful planning and exercised
fiscal due diligence. We knew the
success of this project would ensure
that CIM will maintain its leadership
position as one of the top music
conservatories in the world.
Now that that’s all done, though,
the time has come to “rush in.” That
is not to say that the people at CIM
are fools! On the contrary, now that
we’ve gotten the planning out of
the way, we are fully committed to
accomplishing the task at hand.
We’re ready now to really get this
project going.
This is a lesson about time management – an essential skill for any
professional, but perhaps more so
for musicians. Students at CIM are
learning through experience that
preparation and planning are
imperative, but so is the idea of
putting their planning into practice.
We’re aware, as they say, that the
best-laid schemes often go awry.
But I know that faculty, staff and
students are ready to deal with
changing locations, construction
noise and all the other headaches
that will surely come with the
construction effort. I’m convinced
that we have the full commitment
of everyone on our team to rush in
and get this job done!
– David Cerone
Mr. Boulez remains dedicated to his many composition and conducting
projects, as well as to the
development of sophisticated electronic equipment
for the production, generation, and modification of
musical sound.

The John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.,
a leader in national performing arts
education policy and programs,
introduced its Conservatory Project
in 2004. Designed to present audiences with the best young artists
from the nation’s finest music
conservatories, the program is
broadcast live on the World Wide
Web and on National Public Radio’s
“Performance Today.” In February,
students from CIM performed for an
appreciative capacity crowd at the
Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater as
part of this project. Stephen Fang,
Grace Fong, Jun Iwasaki, Yu Jin,
Alexandra Preucil and Ji-Won
(Judy) Song gave performances
that highlighted CIM’s outstanding
reputation for developing leading
artists in the classical music world.
Ms. Fong, piano student of Sergei
Babayan, performed Kenneth
Leighton’s Six Studies for Piano,
Op. 56. She also collaborated in
presenting Pablo de Sarasate’s
Carmen Fantasy, Op. 25 along with
Song, an 11-year-old Preparatory
Division violin student of David
Cerone and David Russell. Finally,
Bartók’s String Quartet No. 4 was
performed by Iwasaki and Preucil,
violin students of William Preucil;
Jin, viola student of Jeffrey Irvine;
and Fang, cello student of Desmond
Hoebig. After the performances,
CIM held a reception for D.C. area
alumni. As CIM President David
Cerone stated, “These young people
are destined to have significant
careers and are being prepared to
take their place on the world stage.
We are very proud of them and
appreciate this opportunity to
showcase them at the Kennedy
Center as representatives of the
exceptional student body found
at CIM.”
Amy Schwartz Moretti (B.M., 1998, M.M., 2001, violin), student of Donald
Weilerstein, will receive an alumni achievement award. Ms. Moretti is concertmaster
of the Oregon Symphony. She earned a bachelor’s degree in 1998 and a master’s
degree in 2001, both in violin performance under the guidance of Donald
Weilerstein. She was valedictorian of her class and received the Alumni Association
academic scholarship award every year. At the age of 23, she was appointed concertmaster of The Florida Orchestra, a position she held for five years before joining the
Oregon Symphony.
Stephen Rose (B.M., 1992, violin), student of William Preucil, David Cerone, David
Updegraff, and Sally O'Reilly, will receive an alumni achievement award. Mr. Rose is
principal second violin of The Cleveland Orchestra and a member of the CIM violin
faculty. He joined the Orchestra in 1997 as a member of the fist violin section and

Legacy Society – SAVE THE DATE
One of the highlights of spring at CIM is the Legacy
Society Luncheon, held to honor those individuals and
families who have remembered CIM with a bequest, gift
annuity, or some other form of planned gift. The event
includes a special musical performance by CIM students
just for Legacy Society members. If you are a Legacy
Society member, remember to save Wednesday, May 4 for
the 2005 luncheon. If you have remembered CIM in your
will or estate plan, please let us know so that we may
welcome you as a new Legacy Society member and send
you an invitation to the 2005 luncheon.
CIM Gift Annuity – A Creative Way
to Give to CIM and to Yourself!
Many Legacy Society members have created gift annuities
with CIM – and there’s a good reason why. A gift annuity
creates a generous gift to CIM and gives you, or a beneficiary you name, income for life. The amount of the
annuity is determined by only two things: your age and
the amount of the gift. For example, if you are age 75
and create a $10,000 gift annuity, you will receive a 7.1
percent annuity of $710 for the rest of your life. Over
$450 of the annuity income will be tax free for more than
12 years. You will also qualify for a charitable tax deduction of more than $4,000. Useful Tip: With CD interest
rates consistently below 3 percent, many decide to use a
matured CD to fund their gift annuities. CIM receives a
wonderful gift and you receive fixed income for life.
Highly appreciated securities are another great way to
create a CIM Gift Annuity. Let’s take the example mentioned above but use appreciated securities to create the
gift annuity: 750 shares of XYZ, Inc. valued at $14/share
for a gift of $10,500. With an original cost basis of $1.75/
share, your out-of-pocket expense to create the annuity is
only $1,312! A portion of your gift, $5,240, is reported as
capital gain income over 12 years. You receive a 7.1
percent annuity of $745 for life and CIM receives a very
generous gift.
If you would like more information about CIM’s
Gift Annuity program, please contact Jim Kozel at
216-795-3168 or [email protected].

Over the last ten years, CIM has
enjoyed a collaboration with the
Asheville Symphony Orchestra in
North Carolina.
Each February, as part of the
Orchestra’s Masterworks Series, one
CIM student is chosen to perform as
soloist. This year, on February 12,
(left to right) Jerome Gratry, Barbara Gratry,
Israel Getzov (M.M., 2001, orchesBetsy Bolton, Tom Bolton, Juliana Athayde
tral conducting) served as guest
and Israel Getzov
conductor with soloist Juliana
Athayde, violin student of William Preucil. Athayde, the first participant in
CIM’s new Concertmaster Academy led by William Preucil, performed the
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, with Beethoven’s “Overture to the Creatures of
ˇ
Prometheus” and Dvorák’s
Symphony No. 8 rounding out the program.
Asheville Symphony Executive Director Steven Hageman summed up the
ˇ
collaboration,
“We have always appreciated and enjoyed the talented young
artists who come here from the Cleveland Institute of Music. We have a wonderful time with the students, and have found that each of them comes to
enjoy the spirit of Asheville. We were honored to have CIM’s representatives
visit us this year. We look forward to continuing this relationship for many
more years, and to having CIM’s students return to play with us again.”
In honor of the collaboration’s tenth anniversary, CIM President David Cerone
and CIM trustee Barbara Gratry, along with Jerome Gratry, CIM Assistant to the
President Frank Caputo, and music theory faculty member Jo Anne Caputo,
attended the February concert.
The Ashville Symphony enjoys the support of Thomas J. Bolton of Asheville,
President of the Board of Directors of the Asheville Symphony, John B. Bolton
of Andover, Connecticut, and The Payne Fund of Cleveland.

Annual Fund • Outreach
Liz Huff
Outreach
CIM students have participated in Outreach events for
public schools, retirement communities, palliative care
centers, preschools and community organizations throughout Greater Cleveland.
Here’s a quick snapshot of what students have been doing:
In September, CIM invited more than 40 Cleveland Public
School students and their families to attend an educational presentation by the Cavani String Quartet, followed
by a CIM Orchestra concert in Severance Hall. The students, aged 11-18, are participants in the Cleveland
Municipal School District’s All-City music program. They
were treated to teenager Jinjoo Cho performing a Brahms
concerto with the CIM Orchestra.
Model Unveilings
November 17, 2004 saw the beginning of a series of special
receptions and visits CIM is hosting for the many individuals
interested in the expansion project; this particular reception
took place before a delightful concert given by William
Preucil (violin) and Arthur Rowe (piano). Pictured here:
David Cerone with Marilyn Cagin.
Corporate Kudos
The Cavani String Quartet has been busy with Outreach
presentations as well. Along with performing programs
for local schools, they conducted a High School Chamber
Music Master Class for groups from Cleveland Heights
Brie Reimer
CIM appreciates the important Annual Fund support it
receives from the corporate community. Here are just a few
of the corporations who have contributed to the Annual
Fund during the first half of the 2004-2005 academic year.
Our thanks to these, and all of the corporations who make
CIM’s many programs and performances possible.
The Chamber Music Outreach Program sends CIM chamber
ensembles to play for local retirement communities and
palliative care centers. Last fall, more than140 students
participated in this program, performing at Hope Lodge,
Ronald McDonald House, Judson Manor, Alcazar Hotel
and Judson Park, among others. The groups are coached
during the semester by members of CIM’s exceptional
faculty, then perform and speak about their pieces
for audiences who do not have access to live classical
chamber music.
• Invacare Corporation was the proud presenting sponsor
for An Evening with Doc Severinsen, a benefit for CIM
presented by the CIM Women’s Committee. Proceeds
from this event provide substantial support for CIM’s
Annual Fund.
• This year’s gift from the American Express Foundation
supports CIM’s community outreach programs through
their Global Volunteer Action Fund.
• Medical Mutual of Ohio has continued its support of
scholarships for talented conservatory students pursuing
careers in music.
• This year’s gift from AVI Foodsystems, Inc. was used to
support student concerts.
• RPM International Inc. is one of many companies that
have continued their commitment to CIM’s Annual
Fund this year while also making a generous pledge
to The Campaign for CIM.
Corporate contributors to CIM’s Annual Fund receive a wide
range of benefits and recognition. To learn more about
how your company can support CIM’s Annual Fund and
other initiatives, please contact Laura Orazi at 216-795-3118,
or via e-mail at [email protected].
Annie Fullard of the Cavani String Quartet works with
Cleveland Heights High School student Ari Warner
High School and Cleveland School of the Arts.
CIM also participates in University Circle Incorporated’s
Early Learning Initiative. CIM sent a student performer
into 18 preschool classrooms in November to present fun,
interactive, educational performances about music.
Many CIM students have a passion for teaching and
conduct group and individual instrumental lessons with
students in orchestra and band programs at schools in
underprivileged areas of Cleveland, where resources are
scarce and music teachers are not able to provide students
with individual attention. The program has helped local
public school children develop confidence in their playing,
a deeper love for music and a connection with young
adults in the community.

Harp department head
Yolanda Kondonassis’
2004-2005 season has
included performances with
the Buffalo Philharmonic
Orchestra and the Phoenix
Symphony, and at Atlanta’s
Spivey Hall and Washington
D.C.’s Dumbarton Oaks. Of
her performance with the
Phoenix Symphony,
The Arizona Republic wrote,
“Kondonassis is as close to a
superstar as harp virtuosity
will allow. It was a bit like
going to the bullpen and
getting
Randy
Johnson.”
She
presented
master
classes at
the
University
of Michigan
Kondonassis
in Ann
Arbor, The
Curtis Institute of Music, and
Interlochen Arts Academy.
Her latest book, “The
Yolanda Kondonassis Collection,” published by Carl
Fischer, was released in June
2004. Also in June, she was
featured at the American
Harp Society’s National
Conference in a performance
of Ginastera’s Harp Concerto
with the Chamber Orchestra
of Philadelphia. Of her latest
Telarc CD, “Debussy’s Harp,”
Gramophone magazine
wrote “...the clarity, color
and rhythmic vitality of
Kondonassis’ playing is
anything but superficial ...
[her] supple and shapely
playing is a delight.”
Her albums have sold more
than 100,000 copies
worldwide.
Faculty
David Neal Brown, head
of the eurhythmics department, is enjoying a busy

Distance Learning Music Bytes
The CIM Distance Learning department strives to create a
conservatory without walls. CIM already delivers upwards
of 500 educational programs each year to K-12 schools.
Now videoconference master classes with peer institutions
are becoming a significant part of that concept.
In February, horn students of Rick Solis, Eli Epstein and
Richard King participated in a videoconference master class
with Randy Gardner, horn professor at the University of
Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM). Eli Epstein
reciprocated with a master class for CCM students.
March brought a master class exchange with the Royal
College of Music (RCM) in London. CIM faculty member
Antonio Pompa-Baldi taught talented piano students from
RCM while renowned pianist Yonty Solomon worked with
CIM piano students.
In addition, CIM faculty member William Preucil took part
in a series of master classes involving concertmasters from
two of the world’s great orchestras. Along with Glenn
Dicterow of the New York Philharmonic, Mr. Preucil
worked with aspiring students from CIM and the Manhattan School of Music.
The CIM Distance Learning
staff traveled to Columbus
in February to present
at the 2004 Ohio
SchoolNet State Technology Conference. CIM
delivered a session on its
new curriculum unit,
Musical Geography of
Ohio, and a professional
development session
entitled “Videoconferencing over IP: A Best
Practice Guide.” CIM
staged a special event on
Valentine’s Day with
Distance Learning faculty
member Andrea Bargabos.
As an opera singer, Andrea
has gained notoriety over
the past few years as the
“Diva of Distance Learning.” Hundreds at the
conference turned out to
“Meet the Diva” at a
photo signing session.
Call For
Participants
The Distance Learning
department at CIM is
concerned with
transcending time
and distance to create
a personal bond
between an instructor
who is in one place
and a student who
happens to be in
another. Director
Mark George is
developing a network
of videoconferenceenabled alumni and
friends of CIM and a
network of performing arts high schools.
Any individuals or
organizations interested in participating
or receiving more
information may
contact Dr. George at
(216) 791-5000 or

In March, Dr. Mark George, Director of Distance Learning
at CIM, presented a session at the Northwest Council
for Computer Education in Seattle entitled “A Feast of
Integration.” CIM Distance Learning programming is
becoming well known throughout the country for its
quality and innovation.
CIM Distance Learning master classes are produced
using the Internet2 high speed network. Networking
assistance is provided by OARnet, Ohio’s connection
point for Internet2.
The Cleveland Institute of
Music is a charter member
of Ohio’s Third Frontier
Network, a dedicated highspeed fiber optic network
that will enhance research
and education collaboration
in Ohio. Expanding Ohio’s
role and reputation in
networking technology,
the network will greatly
enhance the state’s economic development by
creating new opportunities
for jobs. CIM, the only
conservatory that is a
member, was the first
institution to utilize the
network when it hosted a
high-speed videoconference
session for the national
conference of Grantmakers
in the Arts in October 2004.

CIM Summer Chamber Music, held June 20-July 1, is a
10-day experience for pianists and string players interested
in exploring music outside their solo venues. The camp will
combine coachings, supervised rehearsals, ear training,
chamber music literature classes, rehearsal techniques,
movement classes, public master classes and a final performance. Auditions will take place April 16 and 17.
The Young Composers Program is an exciting week-long
opportunity for composers ages 15-19 being held July 24-30.
Very few courses such as this exist for developing young
composers. Each will take classes in compositional craft,
receive private lessons, enjoy listening sessions and have
seminars on a variety of topics. The week culminates in a live
performance and CD recording of the works created by each
student, performed by members of the resident CIM conservatory ensemble.

The CIM Women’s Committee
On November 17, 2004, the CIM Women’s Committee held its first-ever board
reunion. The brainchild of current board member Jean Wiant, the event drew
more than 70 past Women’s Committee board members, including seven past
presidents. The centerpiece of the event was the unveiling of the model for CIM’s
expansion project and a brief presentation by architect Charles Young. The group
also heard performances by CIM piano students Michael Schneider and Zahari
Metchkov, who closed the luncheon with a rousing rendition of “The William Tell
Overture” arranged for four hands. Both
study with Paul Schenly, who provided
an introduction for the performance.

Sometimes called “the most underappreciated of Mozart’s
operas,” The Garden Girl in Disguise is a unique mixture of
comic and serious work produced when the composer was only
18 years old. This piece anticipates the enchanting comedy of
his most celebrated masterpieces, but also has remarkable
scenes of romance and passion that are not duplicated in his
most famous works. “It has been great fun to develop this
piece for CIM audiences,” said Bamberger. “The original
opera is quite long, and has a somewhat confusing libretto.
Our adaptation tightens the work and includes only the music
that is Mozart’s very best. I think audiences will be amazed at
the wonderful music that Mozart created when he was still
a teenager.”

Ice Breaking
Breaking
the Ice!
The future of CIM began at noon on February 18, 2005 with a ceremonial
Ice Breaking to begin the new $40 million expansion project. When all is said
and done, additional practice, teaching and performance space will be added
to CIM’s 40-plus-year-old campus in University Circle. On this sunny but frigid
winter day, the festivities began in Kulas Hall with music and speeches, and
ended as CIM leadership (Barbara Robinson, Mal Mixon, honored guest
Doc Severinsen, David Cerone and Richard Pogue) shattered an ice gong to
the cheers of nearly 400 supporters. With hot chocolate to keep them warm
and gifts to commemorate the event, it was a joyous occasion for all.
