Mixon Hall • Campaign for CIM<br />

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

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

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

Asheville Symphony<br />
Over the last ten years, CIM has<br />
enjoyed a collaboration with the<br />
Asheville Symphony Orchestra in<br />
North Carolina.<br />
Each February, as part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Orchestra’s Masterworks Series, one<br />
CIM student is chosen to perform as<br />
soloist. This year, on February 12,<br />
Israel Getzov (M.M., 2001, orchestral<br />
conducting) served as guest<br />
conductor with soloist Juliana<br />
Athayde, violin student <strong>of</strong> William Preucil. Athayde, the first participant in<br />
CIM’s new Concertmaster Academy led by William Preucil, performed the<br />
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, with Beethoven’s “Overture to the Creatures <strong>of</strong><br />
Gil & Orli Shaham<br />
(left to right) Jerome Gratry, Barbara Gratry,<br />
Betsy Bolton, Tom Bolton, Juliana Athayde<br />
and Israel Getzov<br />
Prometheus” and Dvorák’s ˇ Symphony No. 8 rounding out the program.<br />
Asheville Symphony Executive Director Steven Hageman summed up the<br />
collaboration,<br />
ˇ<br />
“We have always appreciated and enjoyed the talented young<br />
artists who come here from the <strong>Cleveland</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Music</strong>. We have a wonderful<br />
time with the students, and have found that each <strong>of</strong> them comes to<br />
enjoy the spirit <strong>of</strong> Asheville. We were honored to have CIM’s representatives<br />
visit us this year. We look forward to continuing this relationship for many<br />
more years, and to having CIM’s students return to play with us again.”<br />
In honor <strong>of</strong> the collaboration’s tenth anniversary, CIM President David Cerone<br />
and CIM trustee Barbara Gratry, along with Jerome Gratry, CIM Assistant to the<br />
President Frank Caputo, and music theory faculty member Jo Anne Caputo,<br />
attended the February concert.<br />
The Ashville Symphony enjoys the support <strong>of</strong> Thomas J. Bolton <strong>of</strong> Asheville,<br />
President <strong>of</strong> the Board <strong>of</strong> Directors <strong>of</strong> the Asheville Symphony, John B. Bolton<br />
<strong>of</strong> Andover, Connecticut, and The Payne Fund <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cleveland</strong>.<br />
Renowned musicians and siblings Gil Shaham (violin) and Orli Shaham (piano) held<br />
a fascinating and informative master class in Le Pavillon on November 9, 2004.<br />

11 Annual Fund • Outreach<br />
Outreach<br />
CIM students have participated in Outreach events for<br />
public schools, retirement communities, palliative care<br />
centers, preschools and community organizations throughout<br />
Greater <strong>Cleveland</strong>.<br />
Here’s a quick snapshot <strong>of</strong> what students have been doing:<br />
In September, CIM invited more than 40 <strong>Cleveland</strong> Public<br />
School students and their families to attend an educational<br />
presentation by the Cavani String Quartet, followed<br />
by a CIM Orchestra concert in Severance Hall. The students,<br />
aged 11-18, are participants in the <strong>Cleveland</strong><br />
Municipal School District’s All-City music program. They<br />
were treated to teenager Jinjoo Cho performing a Brahms<br />
concerto with the CIM Orchestra.<br />
Model Unveilings<br />
November 17, 2004 saw the beginning <strong>of</strong> a series <strong>of</strong> special<br />
receptions and visits CIM is hosting for the many individuals<br />
interested in the expansion project; this particular reception<br />
took place before a delightful concert given by William<br />
Preucil (violin) and Arthur Rowe (piano). Pictured here:<br />

Corporate Kudos<br />
CIM appreciates the important Annual Fund support it<br />
receives from the corporate community. Here are just a few<br />
<strong>of</strong> the corporations who have contributed to the Annual<br />
Fund during the first half <strong>of</strong> the 2004-<strong>2005</strong> academic year.<br />
Our thanks to these, and all <strong>of</strong> the corporations who make<br />
CIM’s many programs and performances possible.<br />
The Chamber <strong>Music</strong> Outreach Program sends CIM chamber<br />
ensembles to play for local retirement communities and<br />
palliative care centers. Last fall, more than140 students<br />
participated in this program, performing at Hope Lodge,<br />
Ronald McDonald House, Judson Manor, Alcazar Hotel<br />
and Judson Park, among others. The groups are coached<br />
during the semester by members <strong>of</strong> CIM’s exceptional<br />
faculty, then perform and speak about their pieces<br />
for audiences who do not have access to live classical<br />
chamber music.<br />
The Cavani String Quartet has been busy with Outreach<br />
presentations as well. Along with performing programs<br />
for local schools, they conducted a High School Chamber<br />
<strong>Music</strong> Master Class for groups from <strong>Cleveland</strong> Heights<br />
• Invacare Corporation was the proud presenting sponsor<br />
for An Evening with Doc Severinsen, a benefit for CIM<br />
presented by the CIM Women’s Committee. Proceeds<br />
from this event provide substantial support for CIM’s<br />
Annual Fund.<br />
• This year’s gift from the American Express Foundation<br />
supports CIM’s community outreach programs through<br />
their Global Volunteer Action Fund.<br />
• Medical Mutual <strong>of</strong> Ohio has continued its support <strong>of</strong><br />
scholarships for talented conservatory students pursuing<br />
careers in music.<br />
• This year’s gift from AVI Foodsystems, Inc. was used to<br />
support student concerts.<br />
• RPM International Inc. is one <strong>of</strong> many companies that<br />
have continued their commitment to CIM’s Annual<br />
Fund this year while also making a generous pledge<br />
to The Campaign for CIM.<br />
Corporate contributors to CIM’s Annual Fund receive a wide<br />
range <strong>of</strong> benefits and recognition. To learn more about<br />
how your company can support CIM’s Annual Fund and<br />
other initiatives, please contact Laura Orazi at 216-795-3118,<br />

Annie Fullard <strong>of</strong> the Cavani String Quartet works with<br />
<strong>Cleveland</strong> Heights High School student Ari Warner<br />
High School and <strong>Cleveland</strong> School <strong>of</strong> the Arts.<br />
CIM also participates in University Circle Incorporated’s<br />
Early Learning Initiative. CIM sent a student performer<br />
into 18 preschool classrooms in November to present fun,<br />
interactive, educational performances about music.<br />
Many CIM students have a passion for teaching and<br />
conduct group and individual instrumental lessons with<br />
students in orchestra and band programs at schools in<br />
underprivileged areas <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cleveland</strong>, where resources are<br />
scarce and music teachers are not able to provide students<br />
with individual attention. The program has helped local<br />
public school children develop confidence in their playing,<br />
a deeper love for music and a connection with young<br />
adults in the community.

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

Distance Learning <strong>Music</strong> Bytes<br />
The CIM Distance Learning department strives to create a<br />
conservatory without walls. CIM already delivers upwards<br />
<strong>of</strong> 500 educational programs each year to K-12 schools.<br />
Now videoconference master classes with peer institutions<br />
are becoming a significant part <strong>of</strong> that concept.<br />
In February, horn students <strong>of</strong> Rick Solis, Eli Epstein and<br />
Richard King participated in a videoconference master class<br />
with Randy Gardner, horn pr<strong>of</strong>essor at the University <strong>of</strong><br />
Cincinnati College-Conservatory <strong>of</strong> <strong>Music</strong> (CCM). Eli Epstein<br />

CIM Summer Camps<br />
Young Composers<br />
It’s going to be a musical summer at CIM! In addition to<br />
ongoing music lessons, the CIM Preparatory Division is<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering three camps during the summer <strong>of</strong> <strong>2005</strong>. CIM<br />
Summer FluteFest is a two-week experience, June 13-24,<br />
for flutists ages 11 through high school that combines<br />
individual practice, movement classes, ensemble rehearsals<br />
and performance in a fun, fast-paced environment. The<br />
application deadline is <strong>Mar</strong>ch 28, and auditions will take<br />
place on April 17 and 18.<br />
CIM Summer Chamber <strong>Music</strong>, held June 20-July 1, is a<br />
10-day experience for pianists and string players interested<br />
in exploring music outside their solo venues. The camp will<br />
combine coachings, supervised rehearsals, ear training,<br />
chamber music literature classes, rehearsal techniques,<br />
movement classes, public master classes and a final performance.<br />
Auditions will take place April 16 and 17.<br />
The Young Composers Program is an exciting week-long<br />
opportunity for composers ages 15-19 being held July 24-30.<br />
Very few courses such as this exist for developing young<br />
composers. Each will take classes in compositional craft,<br />
receive private lessons, enjoy listening sessions and have<br />
seminars on a variety <strong>of</strong> topics. The week culminates in a live<br />
performance and CD recording <strong>of</strong> the works created by each<br />
student, performed by members <strong>of</strong> the resident CIM conservatory<br />
ensemble.<br />

The Garden Girl in Disguise<br />
Join CIM opera director David Bamberger in his first full<br />
production as artistic director <strong>of</strong> the CIM Opera Program.<br />
On April 6, 7, 8 and 9 at 8:00 p.m. the CIM Opera Theater will<br />
present Mozart’s opera The Garden Girl in Disguise. Stephen<br />
Byess will return to serve as guest conductor <strong>of</strong> the<br />
CIM Orchestra.<br />
Sometimes called “the most underappreciated <strong>of</strong> Mozart’s<br />
operas,” The Garden Girl in Disguise is a unique mixture <strong>of</strong><br />
comic and serious work produced when the composer was only<br />
18 years old. This piece anticipates the enchanting comedy <strong>of</strong><br />
his most celebrated masterpieces, but also has remarkable<br />
scenes <strong>of</strong> romance and passion that are not duplicated in his<br />
most famous works. “It has been great fun to develop this<br />
piece for CIM audiences,” said Bamberger. “The original<br />
opera is quite long, and has a somewhat confusing libretto.<br />
Our adaptation tightens the work and includes only the music<br />
that is Mozart’s very best. I think audiences will be amazed at<br />
the wonderful music that Mozart created when he was still<br />
a teenager.”<br />
CIM extends thanks and appreciation to the John P. Murphy<br />
Foundation for its generous gift supporting the opera program.<br />
Tickets for the production are $15; $10 for students and<br />
seniors.<br />
The CIM Women’s Committee<br />
On November 17, 2004, the CIM Women’s Committee held its first-ever board<br />
reunion. The brainchild <strong>of</strong> current board member Jean Wiant, the event drew<br />
more than 70 past Women’s Committee board members, including seven past<br />
presidents. The centerpiece <strong>of</strong> the event was the unveiling <strong>of</strong> the model for CIM’s<br />
expansion project and a brief presentation by architect Charles Young. The group<br />
also heard performances by CIM piano students Michael Schneider and Zahari<br />
Metchkov, who closed the luncheon with a rousing rendition <strong>of</strong> “The William Tell<br />
Overture” arranged for four hands. Both<br />
study with Paul Schenly, who provided<br />
an introduction for the performance.<br />
(left to right) Jean Wiant is joined by current<br />
Women’s Committee President<br />
Holly Selvaggi and past presidents Joan Farley<br />
(1999-2001), <strong>Mar</strong>gi O’Brien (2001-2003),<br />
June McInnes (1993-1995), Judy Bourne<br />
(1997-1999), Joan Ostendorf (1980-1982),<br />
seated Connie Balaguer (1991-1993),<br />
and Janet Smith (1984-1987).<br />

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