CONCERT GUIDE 2015 | 2016 Season Dear CIM Concert Enthusiast; It gives me great pleasure to invite all of Northeast Ohio to another exciting season of performance events at the Cleveland Institute of Music. CIM again presents an eclectic offering of concerts, events and masterclasses – nearly all free to the community. This year we are honored to participate in the community-wide partnership that brings the Violins of Hope to Cleveland and includes a series of CIM concerts featuring repertoire reflecting the strength of the Jewish people and presented on stringed instruments that survived the Holocaust. The series includes a special CIM concert at Severance Hall for the community, Music of the Violins of Hope, featuring the Cleveland Institute of Music Orchestra led by Maestro Yoel Levi. I hope you will plan to attend this inspirational concert on October 14 at 8pm in Severance Hall. The 2015-16 Season also features more than 20 recitals performed by our world-renowned faculty and includes new works by our own Head of Composition, Keith Fitch. I’m thrilled to announce that Maestro Jahja Ling will be our Distinguished Principal Guest Artist this year, leading the CIM Orchestra in two concerts this spring, including the Symphony No.1 by Gustav Mahler. Please take a moment to look through our Concert Guide and make your plans to experience the power and majesty of classical music through the inspirational performances of CIM’s faculty, students and guest artists.
