David Cerone Offbeat • Web Site • Corporate 10 Susan M. Schwartz Asheville Symphony 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, Israel Getzov (M.M., 2001, orchestral conducting) served as guest 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 Gil & Orli Shaham (left to right) Jerome Gratry, Barbara Gratry, Betsy Bolton, Tom Bolton, Juliana Athayde and Israel Getzov Prometheus” and Dvorák’s ˇ Symphony No. 8 rounding out the program. Asheville Symphony Executive Director Steven Hageman summed up the collaboration, ˇ “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.

Liz Huff Brie Reimer 11 Annual Fund • Outreach 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 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. 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 • 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 Laura.Orazi@case.edu. 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.
